Kings 2, Bruins 1 Tyler Toffoli scored his second goal of the game with no time remaining in overtime to lift the red-hot Los Angeles Kings to a stunning 2-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Saturday.
After the officials added time on the clock, going from four-tenths of a second remaining in overtime to nine-tenths following an icing, Los Angeles called timeout. Anze Kopitar beat winger David Pastrnak on the draw and slid the puck to Toffoli, whose quick shot eluded Tuukka Rask and ended a wild overtime period.
