Moore’s OT goal for Kings a special one

-

Trevor Moore grew up in nearby Thousand Oaks and came to Kings playoff games one day hoping to achieve his own postseason moment.

On Friday night it happened for the 28-year old forward even though he needed to wait a little bit to make sure it counted.

Moore became the first California-born player to score a postseason overtime goal for a California-based team, with his power-play goal 3:24 into the extra period giving the Kings a 3-2 victory over the Oilers and a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference firstround series.

“It was awesome. Super fun playing in that building. That energy was like nothing else. It was really special,” Moore said after his first goal of the series and fourth postseason score of his career.

Game 4 is on Sunday night in Los Angeles.

The goal was upheld following a lengthy review to determine if Gabriel Villardi played the puck in the corner with a high stick.
