Game report: Kings 3, Coyotes 2 (OT)

Pivotal player: Kings defenseman Drew Doughty played 29 minutes, 5 seconds in a 3-2 overtime victory Tuesday over the Arizona Coyotes at Staples Center. So much for the Kings cutting his ice time down this season. Doughty said he hoped to average 24 minutes in 2015-16.

Key moment: Jordan Weal deflected a shot into the back of the net at 3:37 of the 3-on-3 overtime period to give the Kings their second victory over the Coyotes in as many exhibitions. Christian Ehrhoff took the shot, but Weal cruised in front and tipped it into the net.

In goal: Jhonas Enroth started in goal for the Kings, making his first appearance for the club after signing as a free agent July 1. He faced only eight shots while playing 32:31. He is expected to serve as Jonathan Quick’s backup when the regular season begins Oct. 7.

Roster moves: The Kings returned eight players to their junior-level teams and released three other players from their pro tryouts. Forwards Michael Amadio, Jake Marchment, Matthew Mistele, Matt Schmalz, Austin Wagner and Spencer Watson and defensemen Jacob Middleton and Chaz Reddekopp were went back to their junior teams. Goalie Jack Flinn, forward Samuel Laberge and defenseman Jered Walsh were released.

Next: The Kings face the Ducks at 7 p.m. on Friday at the Honda Center.
