Johansson, Wild rally past Kings in OT again

LOS ANGELES -- Marcus Johansson scored with 10.6 seconds remaining in overtime, and the Minnesota Wild rallied again for a 4-3 win against the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center on Saturday.

Johansson flubbed a one-timer from the right circle that went over the shoulder of Jonathan Quick after the Wild tied it with two goals in the third period, including one from Matt Dumba that made it 3-3 with 1.4 seconds remaining.
"I didn't get a lot of it, but it turned out to be a nice little chip shot and I'll take that any day," said Johansson.
Dumba scored twice, Jordan Greenway and Ryan Suter each had two assists, and Cam Talbot made 30 saves for Minnesota, which also defeated Los Angeles 4-3 in overtime after trailing 3-1 in the third period on Thursday.
"It's unbelievable to see that we can turn games around like this," Johansson said. "Obviously, we don't want to do that every night, but it shows the strength we have in this group and they believe in what we're doing. What's great about it is we're not doing it on individual efforts or anything like that. We're doing it as a team. We're sticking with it and working hard and we're making plays when we have to make plays, and that's a big strength to be able to do that."

Andreas Athanasiou scored for the second straight game, and Jeff Carter had two assists for the Kings. Quick made 40 saves.
Joel Eriksson Ek got the Wild within 3-2 at 7:38 of the third period when he put the rebound of a shot by Greg Pateryn into an open net after catching the Kings on a bad line change.
Los Angeles had a chance to put the game away late, though, but defenseman Matt Roy's shot from his own zone into an empty net hit the left post with 36 seconds remaining.
"That's two games in a row that played out almost identical in a lot of different ways, and there's no reason why we should let either of them get away on us, but they obviously did, so there are things that we need to work on," Kings coach Todd McLellan said.
Dumba scored 21 seconds into the game to give Minnesota a 1-0 lead when his sharp-angle shot was stopped by Quick but redirected in off the shin of Kurtis MacDermid.
The Kings tied it 1-1 at 17:02 of the first when Gabriel Vilardi jammed in a rebound of Austin Wagner's shot during a scrum at the goal line. The goal was awarded through a video review after the on-ice officials initially ruled that the puck did not cross the goal line prior to the net being dislodged.

Blake Lizotte put Los Angeles ahead 2-1 at 7:02 into the second period after Drew Doughty's shot from the blue line redirected off the stick of Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov and then off Lizotte's skate past Talbot.
Athanasiou pushed the lead to 3-1 at 10:22 of the second on the rebound off a give-and-go with Carter during a 4-on-4.
"We're trying to keep the push on and not take our foot off the gas," Kings defenseman Mikey Anderson. "If you sit back and go into a shell, we're kind of just asking for them to start peppering us and giving up higher-quality chances."
NOTES:Suter got his 500th NHL assist, and 300th with the Wild, on Dumba's first goal. … Kaprizov had the primary assist on Johansson's goal, his fourth point (one goal, three assists) through his first two NHL games. … Carter has four points (one goal, three assists) in two games. … Minnesota was 0-for-5 on the power play Saturday and 0-for-11 in the two games against Los Angeles.
