Los Angeles Kings forward Anze Kopitar scored his 10th goal of the season in style.

Kopitar powered his way to the net before going to the backhand and moving the puck around Arizona Coyotes goalie Louis Domingue for a beautiful overtime goal on Saturday.

The 28-year-old now has 10 goals and 12 assists in 34 games this season.

The Kings improved to 21-11-2 with the victory, which came at a costly price. Jeff Carter is expected to miss the next three games with an upper-body injury.

Los Angeles will look to extend its lead atop the Pacific Division without Carter against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday.

The Coyotes salvaged a point late in the third period with a pair of power-play goals by Antoine Vermette and Oliver Ekman-Larsson after Jake Muzzin was assessed a match penalty for a hit to the head of Boyd Gordon.

Arizona will be right back at it against the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday.
