With the game seemingly headed for overtime
With the game seemingly headed for overtime, Michal Handzus carved out space in front of the net and grabbed a critical two points for the Los Angeles Kings.
Handzus scored the tiebreaking goal with 20.8 seconds remaining and the Kings stretched their winning streak to three with a 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars on Sunday.
Jamie Langenbrunner had tied it 2-2 for Dallas with 43 seconds left when he poked a loose puck through the pads of Jonathan Quick, who lost sight of the puck in the crease after stopping Alex Goligoski's attempt.

Off the ensuing faceoff, Handzus set up in front amid a crowd of bodies and steered Alexei Ponikarovsky's centring feed past goalie Kari Lehtonen for the win.
"I was coming in, looking for the puck, and got my stick down," Handzus said. "It was a great pass by [Ponikarovsky]. It's huge. It's two points,The Warriors,raybansunglassesstore, who are four points adrift of second place with two games remaining. and we need every point. Plus, they didn't get a point. When you score that late, it's a lot of fun."
Drew Doughty and Dustin Penner added goals for Los Angeles (39-25-5), and Quick made 17 saves. The Kings are 7-2-1 in their last 10 and winners of four straight on the road.
Los Angeles improved to 83 points, one more than Dallas (37-24-8) in the tight Western Conference playoff race.
Kings coach Terry Murray was pleased at how fast his team answered Langenbrunner's goal.
"That's a tough one whenever that happens," Murray said. "I thought [Quick] had it covered. He kind of lost it, but what a response. That's the main thing.Rolex Kopien Uhren daydate swiss eta 2836-2 auto blue dial. What a response by that line. They get the puck to the net and dig in. There's a lot of traffic, a lot of people banging and hacking around the blue paint, and the puck pops on [Handzus'] stick. So it was a good finish for us."
Brad Richards also scored and Lehtonen stopped 22 shots for the Stars, 6-1-2 in their last nine games.
For the Stars, the most disappointing aspect was their inability to earn at least a point by forcing overtime.
