Brown, Kings recover to top Avalanche in OT

DENVER — Dustin Brown scored 54 seconds into overtime on a breakaway to give the Los Angeles Kings a 3-2 win against the Colorado Avalanche at Pepsi Center on Monday.

Carl Soderberg tied it 2-2 with 1:50 left in the third period after Tyson Barrie‘s shot from the point deflected in off his leg. 

Sean Walker scored his first NHL goal and Jonathan Quick made 22 saves for the Kings (16-21-3), who are 5-1-0 in their past six games.

Nathan MacKinnon scored and Semyon Varlamov made 15 saves for the Avalanche (19-13-8), who have lost five straight games (0-4-1) and are 2-6-3 in their past 11.

Walker appeared to make it 1-0 at 15:40 of the first period, but the call on the ice was ruled no goal because of goalie interference. Kings coach Willie Desjardins challenged the play, but the call was upheld after a video review.

Drew Doughty scored on a power play 22 seconds into the second period to give Los Angeles a 1-0 lead. His shot from the right point went in short side after deflecting off the stick of Avalanche forward Gabriel Bourque.

Walker extended the lead to 2-0 at 12:58 on a wraparound at the left post.

MacKinnon scored 32 seconds into the third period to cut it to 2-1, driving to the net before redirecting a pass from Mikko Rantanen.
