Los Angeles-Quinton Byfield put an end to the deepest funk of the campaign Kings with a goal of 27 seconds in overtime, obtaining a 2-1 victory on the Blues of St. Louis, who had beat them 3-2 during a shooting on Wednesday.
The Kings have pumped the brakes on their section without a five-game season victory, while the Blues went to 7-1-2 in their last 10 decisions, remaining in pursuit of a joker bitch. The Kings remained three points in front of the flames of Calgary, which won 1-0 on Saturday, for third place in the Pacific division.
Anoe Kopitar opened the scoring and Quinton byfield closed it. Andrei Kuzmenko connected to 16:02, playing on the first power game unit as well as the first line of his Kings beginnings after being exchanged from Philadelphia yesterday. Darcy Kuemper stopped 19 shots.
Nick Leddy scored the only goal of the blues. Joel Hofer succeeded in 22 stops.
The overtime had barely started when Byfield led from the left wall to the low slit and raised a shot that slipped to the height under the crossbar to break the slip without victory.
In the final framework, St. Louis absorbed a large part of the game, but found an equalizer just like when Ledy’s Long and Seeing Eye Shot beat Kuemper inside the pole at the brand 4:16.
In 40 minutes, there had been more prohibited goals than the real goals of the match. The Kings hung on an advance of 1-0, but an eventful stanza saw Kuemper Rob Pavel Buchnevich in the heels of a successful post for the Blues. Hofer then made the favor, sliding to Stonewall Alex Laferriere on a gold opportunity of blue painting.
Saint-Louis also made the difference in another direction, withdrawing a goal from the Kings of the table after the Blues had canceled a first period. The long bank of Vladislav Gavrikov passes the boards of Laferriere supported the defense, then Laferriere held up and struck a jostled Gavrikov for a well -placed shot that seemed to catch Hofer in the guard. This surprise was quickly relieved when a very fast examination was able to determine that the kings were offside when they entered the area.
The first period of the Kings began as a brush with Calamity, but ended with an advance of 1-0, both thanks to La Défense Montree, Drew Doughty and Mikey Anderson.
Only 28 seconds from the competition, Doughty tripped Dylan Holloway, and barely seven seconds after his penalty, Captain of St. Louis Brayden Schenn seemed to score the first goal of the match.
But the video journal has shown that Anderson’s latest shift prevented the final millimeters from the washer from completely crossing the goal line, canceling the goal after a long review.
Instead, it was the kings who first took the table at 14:35. Kopitar did the dirty work to extend possession under the goal line, then found the style in office above the hash marks, where he made a boost from Doughty to the sky and above Hofer’s head for a goal. Anderson won secondary assistance in Kopitar’s 15th goal of 2024-25.
