Kempe also had an assist, and Anze Kopitar<\/a> scored for the Kings (12-6-7), who extended their point streak to five games (2-0-3). Anton Forsberg<\/a> made 19 saves.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles has gone to overtime in 12 of its 25 games this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that we have good D and good goaltending, so we believe in them, obviously,\u201d Kings forward Trevor Moore<\/a> said. \u201cBut, yeah, we\u2019re playing tight games right now. They\u2019re low-scoring games for the most part, so we like those games. We like to kind of sludge it up out there, and we\u2019ll take it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evander Kane<\/a> scored for the Canucks (10-13-3), who have lost five of their past six games (1-4-1).<\/p>\n

\u201cMy experience, I\u2019ve played them lots over the last number of years, and it\u2019s always a tight game against them,\u201d Kane said. \u201cThey don\u2019t give up a whole lot, and I thought for the most part, we did a good job of staying in the game and getting some opportunities. There wasn\u2019t a whole lot out there for either side. And, obviously, when you get to overtime, lots of different things can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lankinen made 21 saves after missing the first two games of a four-game road trip for personal reasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the usual performance for him,\u201d Kane said. \u201cHe keeps us in games, makes some big stops.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kopitar put the Kings up 1-0 at 17:19 of the first period on a wrist shot from the slot off the rush.<\/p>\n

Kane tied it 1-1 at 2:52 of the second period on a breakaway after coming out of the penalty box. Drew O’Connor<\/a> set up Kane to score on a wrist shot from the slot.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, you step out of the box and you hope for something like that to happen,\u201d Kane said. \u201c[Tyler Myers<\/a>] made a good play to deflect it over to Drew, and he made a nice heads up play getting it up right away.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kempe also had an assist, and Anze Kopitar scored for the Kings (12-6-7), who extended their point streak…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":316189,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-316188","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316188\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
