Adrian Kempe scored 37 seconds into overtime and the Los Angeles Kings beat Dallas 3-2 on Thursday night, handing the slumping Stars their fourth consecutive loss.<\/p>\n
Darcy Kuemper made 29 saves, and former Stars Corey Perry and Cody Ceci also scored as the Kings won in regulation for the first time this season.<\/p>\n
Wyatt Johnston and Jason Robertson scored power-play goals for the Stars, and Johnston also had an assist. Jake Oettinger stopped 22 shots.<\/p>\n
Kempe scored from the slot on a pass from Quinton Byfield on the Kings\u2019 only rush of overtime.<\/p>\n
It was Kempe’s second straight overtime winner \u2014 following Tuesday night’s 2-1 win at St. Louis \u2014 and it came on Byfield\u2019s second assist of the game.<\/p>\n
The Stars have dropped four straight before New Year\u2019s for the first time since Oct. 25-Nov. 2, 2021.<\/p>\n
The 40-year-old Perry, who played for Dallas in 2019-20, knocked home a rebound at the crease for the game\u2019s first goal late in the first period 22 seconds into a 35-second five-on-three power play.<\/p>\n
Only 1:29 after Robertson tied the score 1-1 early in the second period, Ceci put the Kings back ahead with a slap shot redirected off the stick of Dallas\u2019 Mavrik Bourque. Ceci was acquired by Dallas last February from San Jose and left for L.A. in free agency last summer.<\/p>\n
Johnston\u2019s team-high fifth goal of the season tied the score 2-2 early in the third period.<\/p>\n
The Kings had a deflection goal by Alex Laferriere midway through the second disallowed after a video review determined his stick was too high.<\/p>\n
Dallas\u2019 Roope Hintz had two assists.<\/p>\n
