ST. LOUIS (AP) \u2014 Adrian Kempe<\/a> scored a power-play goal 1:50 into overtime to lift the Los Angeles Kings<\/a> to a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Kempe\u2019s goal came 14 seconds after Pavel Buchnevich<\/a> was called for hooking on Quinton Byfield<\/a>, giving the Kings a four-on-three advantage.<\/p>\n

Alex Laferriere<\/a> also scored and Darcy Kuemper<\/a> made 17 saves as the Kings snapped a four-game losing streak, two of which came in overtime.<\/p>\n

Justin Faulk<\/a> scored and Jordan Binnington<\/a> made 26 saves for the Blues, who lost for the third time in four home games this season.<\/p>\n

The Kings outshot the Blues 10-5 in a scoreless first period. Phillip Danault<\/a> had the Kings\u2019 best chance after he found himself all alone in front of the Blues\u2019 net after a Jake Neighbours<\/a> giveaway, but Binnington made a glove save on his backhander.<\/p>\n

Laferriere\u2019s goal gave the Kings a 1-0 lead at the 1:47 mark of the second period. Kempe forced a turnover at the blue line and sprung Laferriere in for a breakaway allowing him to go forehand-backhand into the upper corner.<\/p>\n

Blues captain Brayden Schenn<\/a> tried to give the team a spark with a big hit on Drew Doughty<\/a> midway through the second and Tyler Tucker<\/a> dropped the gloves with Jeff Malott<\/a> a few minutes later, but St. Louis couldn\u2019t build on it and had just three shots on goal in the frame.<\/p>\n

The Blues doubled up their shots total from the second in the first three minutes of the frame. Faulk\u2019s power-play goal at the 2:18 mark tied the game at 1-all.<\/p>\n

Corey Perry<\/a> made his Kings debut after knee surgery delayed the start of his season. Perry signed a one-year free agent contract with Los Angeles this summer.<\/p>\n
