Kings extend road streak
Tie NHL mark with 10th win in row
Drew Doughty scored 33 seconds into overtime and the Los Angeles Kings rallied from a three-goal deficit in the third period to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets, 4-3, for the NHL record-tying 10th consecutive road win.
Phoenix Copley stopped 26 shots for the Kings, who matched the road win record of the 2006- 07 Buffalo Sabres.
Phillip Danault scored twice, Arthur Kaliyev added a goal and Vladislav Gavrikov contributed a pair of assists in his first game back in Columbus after being traded to Los Angeles in March.
“Our team feels good about itself,” Kings coach Todd McLellan said. “We have confidence, but with confidence comes responsibility and we didn’t have a lot of it early in the game.”
