Winnipeg, MB (SportsNetwork.com) – Bryan Little was credited with the game- winning goal in overtime as the Winnipeg Jets topped the Colorado Avalanche 2-1 at MTS Centre. Little was positioned in the low slot, where he deflected Andrew Ladd’s backhander. The puck trickled through Colorado goaltender Semyon Varlamov and across the goal line with 25 seconds remaining. Ladd scored on a redirection in the first period for his 100th goal with the Jets\/Thrashers franchise. Ondrej Pavelec made 22 saves as Winnipeg finished its homestand with a 2-3-0 record. Varlamov stopped 26 shots for the Avalanche, who fell to 0-3 in overtime this season.<\/p>\n
Final Score: Los Angeles 5, Columbus 2<\/p>\n
Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) – Jeff Carter and Tyler Toffoli each had a goal and three assists as the Los Angeles Kings completed a perfect homestand with a 5-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Tanner Pearson added a pair of goals to help the defending Stanley Cup champion Kings finish off the first-ever 6-0-0 residency in franchise history. Dwight King also scored during a three-goal second period for Los Angeles that supported a 22-save effort from Jonathan Quick. Tim Erixson recorded his first career NHL goal for Columbus, which concluded a four-game road trip 1-3-0. Mark Letestu tallied as well in the loss, but Sergei Bobrovsky stopped just 22-of-27 shots in a rough day between the pipes. The Blue Jackets also were hit with a potentially serious injury to Nick Foligno in the third period. The veteran forward was taken off on a stretcher with 11:34 to play after being inadvertently checked into linesman Shane Heyer while chasing a puck alongside Carter near the benches. Foligno’s head collided with Heyer’s back and elbow as the linesman pulled himself up onto the boards in an attempt to avoid the play.<\/p>\n
