The LA Kings came out on top following a back-and-forth game in Detroit, earning their second victory of the season with a 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings. <\/p>\n
Forward Phillip Danault scored two goals, including the overtime game-winning goal, as one of five Kings forwards with multiple points on the evening. <\/p>\n
The hosts opened the scoring less than five minutes into the game through forward Adam Erne. After the Kings lost possession of the puck in the offensive zone, Erne led a 2-on-1 rush, kept the puck himself and snapped a wrist shot past netminder Jonathan Quick for his first goal of the season.<\/p>\n
The Kings struck back, however, with a pair of goals of their own to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission. <\/p>\n
First, just 19 seconds after conceding, the third line got the Kings on the board to tie the game at one. A spinning, baseball-style swing from Alex Iafallo in the neutrlal zone whacked the puck to Gabe Vilardi, who walked into the middle of the ice, dragged the puck onto his forehand and beat Detroit goaltender Ville Husso with a shot from the slot for his third goal of the season. With the assist, Alex Iafallo extended his scoring streak to four games. <\/p>\n
Later in the opening period, the tandem of Kevin Fiala and Adrian Kempe struck for the second consecutive game in transition to put the visitors ahead. Rushing out of the zone with speed, Fiala attacked the defense off the rush before he hit Kempe in the right-hand circle, where he fired home his team-leading fourth goal of the season for a 2-1 advantage. <\/p>\n
Detroit knotted the game at two with a goal stemming from a rush in transition. The Kings were caught in an odd-man situation as the Red Wings entered the offensive zone, before Dominik Kubalik curled back and hit David Perron through the slot, with the latter finishing in one motion from the left-hand circle for his second goal of the season. <\/p>\n
With less than four minutes to play in the second period, the second line pulled the Kings ahead by a goal heading into the intermission. Danault sent a perfectly weighted pass across the blueline to Trevor Moore, who returned the favor with a backhanded saucer pass back to Danault for the goal at the back post. The play marked the first point of the season for both players, pushing the Kings ahead 3-2. <\/p>\n
A back-and-forth third period saw the teams eventually make their way to overtime tied at 4-4.<\/p>\n
First, Detroit knotted the score at three on the power play, as Perron fired home his second goal of the game with a wrist shot from the left-hand circle. The Kings surged back, however, as Anze Kopitar netted his first goal of the season. After a one-timer from Adrian Kempe was saved but not held, Kopitar dove head first into the crease and poked the puck into the back of the net from close range for the go-ahead goal. <\/p>\n
The Red Wings got a late one to force overtime, however, through Oskar Sundqvist. After Viktor Arvidsson nearly iced the game at one end, Detroit came back the other way and pushed the game into overtime, as Sundvqist received the puck down low and swept it into the net past an outstretched Quick. <\/p>\n
The Kings responded to earn the second point in overtime with Danault burying his second goal of the game. On a 2-on-1 rush with Trevor Moore, Danault’s pass hit a Detroit defenseman and deflected past Husso for the game-winning goal, Danault’s second of the evening. <\/p>\n
