Kings overtime winner v. Red Wings, 3-2

as usual, nobody got an actual shot of the winning goal...



Anze Kopitar scores the winning goal for the Kings, who put together one of their best efforts in a while in beating the Western Conference leaders.

The Red Wings were coming at the Kings in waves early in the first period Saturday. Their passes were precise, their checks jarring, their plays made at a breathtaking pace — every element was there to intimidate the Kings, who had wobbled through seven losses in their previous nine games.

This time, the Kings didn't falter. In perhaps their most impressive effort of the season, they rallied for a 3-2 overtime victory at Staples Center and vaulted from ninth to fourth in a tightly packed Western Conference that's still led by Detroit.

Defenseman Alec Martinez broke up a passing play to start a three-on-two then headed to the net to draw a defenseman away from Anze Kopitar, who took a flat pass from Dustin Brown and rifled a one-timer past Chris Osgood four minutes and four seconds into sudden-death play. The crowd roared as the Kings celebrated the happy ending that followed a precarious beginning.
