Dustin Brown scored the winner midway through the second overtime on Saturday to lift the Los Angeles Kings to a 5-4 win over the New York Rangers in game two of the NHL finals.
Brown positioned himself eight feet in front of the Rangers' net and deflected a slap shot from the point by defenceman Willie Mitchell for the winning goal to give the Kings a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup finals.
This is the second straight game in which the Kings rallied from a deficit to win in extra time.
Justin Williams was their overtime hero in a 3-2 win in game one.
Forward Marian Gaborik scored 7:36 into the third period to tie the contest 4-4 and eventually force the overtime.
New York had several quality chances in the first overtime to win the game and grab-home ice advantage in the series.
But forward Chris Kreider couldn't buy a goal in the extra session. Kreider had three excellent scoring chances including one shot that hit the post, a breakaway where he shot wide and a shot from in close with just 23 seconds left that Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick got his left leg pad on.
The series now switches to New York for games three and four on Monday and Wednesday at Madison Square Garden.
