LOS ANGELES -- The Kings hit iron with an extraordinary number of shots Saturday night, culminating in a late backhand by Kyle Clifford that somehow struck both sides of Winnipeg's goal without going in.
"He can't hit the net, but he can hit both posts," Los Angeles defenseman Jake Muzzin said jokingly of his low-scoring buddy.
Dustin Brown and Jeff Carter made sure all those near-misses didn't matter for the surging Kings.
Carter scored his 23rd goal of the season at 1:36 of overtime and Los Angeles rallied for its fifth victory in seven games, 3-2 over the Jets on Saturday night.
