03/19/2009 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dustin Brown scored with 35 ticks remaining in overtime and the Los Angeles Kings rallied for three goals in the final 15 minutes, erasing a two-goal deficit for the 3-2 win over Boston at TD Banknorth Garden.
Michal Handzus got the comeback started with a power-play goal and Drew Doughty forced the extra frame, lighting the lamp with 1:36 left in regulation
Jonathan Quick made 24 saves and survived a pair of Boston power-play opportunities late in the third to pick up the victory for LA, which won on the road for the first time since beating Minnesota on February 24 and had dropped six straight as the guest.
The Kings kicked off a season-high six-game road trip, pivotal to them making the playoffs as they came into play Thursday in the 13th position. Doughty also had an assist while Wayne Simmonds had two helpers for LA, which had dropped three straight.
Mark Recchi and Matt Hunwick got the goals for Boston, which has just three wins in its last 10 games.
Tim Thomas blanked the Kings for nearly 50 minutes before wilting under LA's 38-shot barrage in the loss.
Aaron Ward was whistled for hooking eight minutes into the third and LA finally breached the scoreboard with a power-play marker as Handzus was able to bat a loose puck in front past a sprawled Thomas following the initial save of a Simmonds wrister.
The Kings in turn handed the B's a power play when Kyle Quincey took a tripping minor at 11:42 and again after Sean O'Donnell was called for hooking with 5:04 to go.
LA killed off both infractions and remained on its heels for much of the third, but Doughty led a rush the other way following a Quick save and ended up with the equalizer with 1:36 on the clock.
Doughty dished to Derek Armstrong on the left wing at the blueline and headed for the net. Armstrong put on the brakes and hit Simmonds in stride for a shot from the slot that went off the right post and Doughty was in position to slam home the rebound, forcing an extra session.
Brown cut across the slot late in OT and hit O'Donnell with a pass on the left wing. O'Donnell gave it right back to Brown in the low slot and he sent the puck past the outstretched glove of Thomas for the game-winner.
The aptly named Quick was just that, robbing Blake Wheeler on a breakaway chance late in the first to keep the game scoreless.
However, Quick couldn't get to a Hunwick one-timer in front off a Michael Ryder feed a short time later as Boston took the 1-0 lead with 5:19 left in the first.
The Bruins used a series of pin-point passes to take a 2-0 advantage at 3:48 of the middle stanza as Chuck Kobasew forechecked behind the net, flicked the disc back to Patrice Bergeron low in the left circle for a cross-ice pass to Recchi and the easy score.
Game Notes
The Bruins are 4-2 with a tie in the last seven meetings with Los Angeles...LA was 1-for-3 with the man advantage while Boston ended 0-for-4 on the power play...It was Brown's 24th goal of the season...The Bruins are 24-6-6 as the host this year and had won their last three on home ice...The Kings are 14-16-2 as the visiting team this season.

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
