Anze Kopitar scored 36 seconds into overtime to lift the Los Angeles Kings over the Arizona Coyotes 4-3 on Saturday night.

Kopitar skated past Viktor Tikhonov, faked goalie Louis Domingue to the ice with a forehand deke and backhanded the puck into the vacated right side of the net. That saved the Kings on a night when Los Angeles rallied from a one-goal deficit only to squander a two-goal lead.

Drew Doughty, Tanner Pearson and Dustin Brown scored for the Kings, and Los Angeles won for the second time in six games.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored twice and Antoine Vermette added a goal for the Coyotes. Arizona lost for only the second time in its past 10 home games.

Jonathan Quick made 23 saves for the Kings.
