COLUMBUS, Ohio — Viktor Arvidsson scored four minutes into overtime to complete a hat trick and give the Kings a 4-3 victory over the quick-strike Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night.
Dustin Brown also scored and Jonathan Quick stopped 24 shots for the Kings to help the Kings win end a two-game losing streak and win for the eighth time in 11 games.
Patrik Laine, Oliver Bjorkstrand and Justin Danforth scored for Columbus in a franchise-record, 46-second span in the second, and Elvis Merlikins stopped 39 shots. The Blue Jackets had won two in a row.
Arvidsson opened the scoring with six minutes left in the second period with a wrister from the right circle that beat Merzlikins high.
Columbus countered with the three-goal burst, with Laine scoring with 4:26 to go, Bjorkstrand with 4:01 left, and Danforth with 3:40 remaining.
Brown’s dribbler through Merlikins’ pads made it 3-2 at 3:49 of the third, and the Kings pulled even with 3:46 left on Arvidsson’s second goal of the night.
Boone Jenner appeared to have won it for Columbus with 2:56 left in overtime, but the goal was disallowed for offsides.
