Wild Suffer First Loss in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anze Kopitar scored at 2:19 of overtime, Tyler Toffoli connected on a power play in the second period and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Minnesota Wild 2-1 Friday night for their first victory of the season.

The Kings, who last season became the eighth team in NHL history to miss the playoffs a year after winning the Stanley Cup, were in danger of starting a season 0-4 for the first time. Their longest winless streak from the start of a season was nine games in 1984-85 (0-6 with three ties).

Kopitar scored on a 25-foot wrist shot in the first overtime game for either team in the new 3-on-3 format.

Minnesota coach Mike Yeo challenged that L.A. was offside on Kopitar's goal, but the goal was upheld.

For Minnesota, Darcy Kuemper stopped 35 shots in his season debut. Kings goalie Jonathan Quick stopped 25 shots.
