The Los Angeles Kings have done it again! For the 10th straight time, the Kings have won on the road, this time in a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The game was a back-and-forth affair, with the Kings taking the lead twice, only to have the Blue Jackets tie it up each time.
But it was Kings defenseman Drew Doughty who stole the show. Just 33 seconds into overtime, Doughty scored the game-winning goal off a pass from forward Anze Kopitar. It was Doughty’s second goal of the night, and it gave the Kings their 10th straight road win.
The Kings have been on a roll lately, and this win is just another example of their dominance away from home. They have now won 16 of their last 18 games, and they are currently tied for first place in the Pacific Division.
Doughty has been a major factor in the Kings’ success this season. He has scored five goals and added 15 assists in his last 18 games, and he is now tied for second in points among NHL defensemen.
The Kings will look to keep their winning streak alive when they travel to face the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday. With Doughty leading the way, the Kings have a good chance of extending their road winning streak to 11 games.
