For the second consecutive game, the Kings overcame a two-goal deficit to win. Obviously, they don’t want to make a habit of this, but they’ve proven they can come-from-behind to win. Allowing three consecutive goals really hurt, but Dustin Brown’s goal at 17:55 in the second period was huge.

The Kings are one of three NHL teams that hasn’t given up a power play goal this season. Carolina had five power-play opportunities and didn’t score. The Kings have killed all 19 penalties this season.

Michal Handzus scored two goals and has four points through the first four games. He needed 16 games to get four points last year.

Wayne Simmonds had his first NHL assist. He won’t forget it, considering the shot he took after it.

This is the Kings’ first overtime victory since Dec. 30, 2007 at Chicago.

Terry Murray was happy with the play of Kyle Quincey, who played his first game as a King. He was on the ice for 21:43 tonight, which was fifth-most on the Kings.
