Kings rally past Rangers again, lead 2-0
Print Edition
THE Los Angeles Kings beat the New York Rangers 5-4 after second overtime on Saturday to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 National Hockey League Stanley Cup finals series.
Kings captain Dustin Brown redirected Willie Mitchell’s shot 10:26 into the second added period to complete another rally from a two-goal deficit, just as they did in the opening game of the series.
The hosts traded scoring chances with New York before Mitchell teed up a long shot. Brown deflected it under Henrik Lundqvist’s glove arm, ending the longest finals game in Rangers history and nearly the longest playoff game in Kings history.
“We’ve been digging ourselves holes here, but our resiliency — we dig deep,” said Mitchell, who also scored his first playoff goal in more than two years.
Lundqvist made 39 saves for New York, and Jonathan Quick had 34 for Los Angeles.
Game 3 is tomorrow at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Jarret Stoll and Dwight King also scored for the Kings while Marian Gaborik netted the tying goal with 12:24 left for Los Angeles.
The comeback Kings rallied from a two-goal deficit for the fourth time in their past five games. They haven’t led during any of their past three games, going to overtime each night.
