It was fun scene pre-game Thursday: Ibrahimovic, the Galaxy star who made a stunning MLS debut last week, juggled a soccer ball with the Kings in the hallway outside their locker room.
Brown then took a cue from the famous forward with a four-goal game, capped by his overtime goal 23 seconds into the extra session to give the Kings a 5-4 win at Staples Center.
The drama allowed the Kings to take back third place in the Pacific Division with 98 points, two behind the San Jose Sharks with one game remaining and their playoff opponent still up in the air.
