Kings rally for 2-1 OT win over Avalanche

The Kings nearly won the NHL Jerseys game with 30 seconds remaining in regulation, only to have Anderson stop Alexander Frolov's point-blank shot with his right pad at the last moment.
Prior to Stoll's goal, the Kings' best scoring chance came courtesy of a misplayed puck by Anderson in the opening period. The Avalanche goalie tried to clear it from behind the net, only to have Anze Kopitar poke it away and nearly score.
Other than that, Anderson was solid all afternoon _ all season really. Anderson set franchise records for starts, minutes played, shots faced and saves.
Stoa scored his second goal of the season midway through the first period, slipping a puck through the pads of Ersberg.
It would be the only mistake Ersberg would make all day.
The Avalanche held out Matt Duchene (torso) and Peter Mueller (head), two of their biggest offensive threats in recent weeks.
