The Los Angeles Kings are at their best in overtime, a sentiment that rang true again Thursday night.
Nic Dowd claimed the Kings' fourth overtime winner in 11 games, using a crisp shot fake to freeze Marc-Andre Fleury before flipping a backhand into the net to secure the full two points versus the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins.
Los Angeles is still without a win in regulation into November, but remains right in the middle of the Western Conference race with five extra-time victories.
