The Story
Quinton Byfield scored at 3:37 of overtime to lift the Los Angeles Kings to a 6-5 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night after Los Angeles blew a four-goal lead in the third period.
Byfield beat goalie Samuel Ersson with a snap shot from the high slot, with Drew Doughty recording his third assist of the night on the play.
Erik Haula tied the game for Los Angeles on a first-period power play, and the Kings scored four more times in the second—through Trevor Moore, Mikey Anderson, Joel Armia and Artemi Panarin—to take a 5-1 lead.
Panarin capped the run with a power-play goal after Hayden Hodgson was tossed for boarding defenseman Brandt Clarke; Clarke missed the rest of the game with an upper-body injury.
Ottawa scored three times in the third to pull even, starting with Shane Pinto tying it at 5 with 1:40 left as Ersson came off for an extra attacker.
Dylan Cozens scored twice in the third, and Drake Batherson also scored; Cozens and Batherson each scored in a 33-second span, and Cozens cut the deficit to a goal with 7:26 remaining.
Tyler Kleven opened the scoring for Ottawa in the first period, and Darcy Kuemper made 17 saves for Los Angeles.
