NHL Game Summary - San Jose at Los Angeles

Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Anze Kopitar scored on a power play in overtime to give the Los Angeles Kings a come-from-behind 4-3 win over the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night.

The Kings tied it on Justin Williams' power-play goal in the third period and handed the Sharks only their third loss of the season when Kopitar rifled a one-timer from the point with Justin Braun off for hooking.

Drew Doughty and Jarret Stoll also scored for Los Angeles and Mike Richards had two assists. Jonathan Quick had 17 saves in the win and didn't face a shot in overtime as the Kings pressured San Jose goaltender Antti Niemi.

Los Angeles was coming off a loss at Phoenix Tuesday night -- the team's only road test in a nine-game stretch.

Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture scored for the Sharks, who had won two in a row since their only regulation loss of the season last Thursday at Boston. Niemi had 19 saves.

It was the first meeting between the teams since the Kings ousted the Sharks in the Western Conference semifinals last season.
