Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Corey Perry scored in the fifth-round of
the shootout to lift Anaheim past Los Angeles, 3-2, in the opener of a home-
and-home set at the Staples Center.
Teemu Selanne had a goal and an assist while Jean-Sebastian Giguere made 30
saves for the Ducks, who have won two in a row after a three-game skid.
Anze Kopitar posted a goal and an assist and Mathieu Garon ended with 32 saves
for the Kings, who have dropped four of their last five and 13 of 16.
The teams will be right back at it on Sunday in Anaheim.
Down a goal late in the third period, Kopitar netted the equalizer off a
pretty feed by Lubomir Visnovsky. From the left circle, Visnovsky faked a shot
and then sent a cross-ice pass that Kopitar deposited past Giguere to make it
2-2 with 5:14 remaining.
A late penalty on Kopitar gave the Ducks a power play that carried over into
the overtime period, but the Kings were able to kill it off, thanks in large
part to a couple huge saves by Garon.
Both teams came up empty in the extra five minutes and the game went to a
shootout, where Kopitar and Ryan Getzlaf both missed in the first round.
Michael Cammalleri used a nice deke to net the first score for LA, but Selanne
went top-shelf past a sprawled Garon to tie the shootout at 1-1.
Tom Kostopoulos then tried to go five-hole on Giguere but came up empty and
Andy McDonald had Garon beat but fanned on a wide-open net with a chance to
win it.
Dustin Brown also tried to five-hole on Giguere but suffered a similar fate
as Kostopoulos. Then, after Chris Kunitz came up empty and Alexander Frolov
lost control of the puck, Perry beat Garon five-hole to win it for the Ducks.
"I had a game plan going in," said Perry. "(Garon) reacted the way I was
hoping. I was able to get him to open his legs and it went in."
LA struck first with just eight seconds left in the opening period as
Alexander Frolov scored on the power play for his 31st tally of the season.
The Ducks answered with a power play marker of their own 3:22 into the middle
stanza as Selanne stuffed home a rebound for his 35th goal of the year.
Anaheim then grabbed the lead just under six minutes into the third period.
Garon managed to get a pad on McDonald's wraparound shot from behind the net,
but Kunitz was there to poke home the rebound for the goal.
"We had our opportunities," said Kings head coach Marc Crawford. "We didn't
capitalize, even in the shootout."
