Sabres lead 3-1 after two periods
If the Los Angeles Kings want to record a second-straight come-from-behind win, they have some serious work to do in the third period, trailing 3-1.

The Kings, though, carry momentum into the final 20 minutes here as Anze Kopitar got a power-play goal in the last minute of the period. With Drew Stafford in the box for tripping, the Kings moved the puck efficiently around the perimeter -- especially after Paul Gaustad lost his stick -- until Kopitar got the puck in the high slot and ripped it home over the shoulder of a screened Ryan Miller.

Drew Doughty and Jack Johnson, who scored the overtime game-winner Friday night against the Rangers, earned the assists on the goal, which was Kopitar's second in as many games.

It was also the second game in a row that the Kings have scored on the power play, which was a point of emphasis this preseason. Johnson's game-winner Friday came on a 4-on-3 man advantage.
