LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bad breaks and bounces piled up during the Los Angeles Kings‘ six-game skid Detroit Red Wings Hoodies Authentic , and it looked as if another gaffe would extend that drought when goalie Jack Campbell accidentally deflected a centering pass into his own net with his skate midway though the second period.Instead, the Kings found the resolve they had been lacking to rally for their first win since Oct. 11.Alec Martinez scored with 55 seconds remaining, and the Kings beat the New York Rangers 4-3 on Sunday. Martinez brought the puck from behind his net into the offensive zone and fired a wrist shot through the legs of Brendan Smith and past goaltender Henrik Lundqvist for his first goal of the season.“Yeah, when the buzzer sounds, it was obviously a good feeling,” Martinez said. “We haven’t felt that in a while. That said, we enjoy it tonight and tomorrow it’s back to work.”Ilya Kovalchuk had a goal and two assists, Trevor Lewis scored and Drew Doughty had two assists for the Kings.Dustin Brown, making his season debut after breaking a finger in Los Angeles’ final preseason game, also scored.Vladislav Namestnikov and Tony DeAngelo each had a goal and an assist and Ryan Spooner also scored for the Rangers, who are winless in five road games.

Kings coach John Stevens said Quick did not feel right after participating in practice Saturday.“There wasn’t one particular acute moment that had it, but he had a great practice and I thought he was terrific. So we’re all a little surprised that he came up lame after that. In the course of practice something happened,” Stevens said.The Rangers have not won away from home this season, and the frustration was evident after another self-inflicted mistake for too many men on the ice resulted in Kovalchuk’s power-play goal.“You just have to stop beating yourself,” Rangers coach David Quinn said. “It’s hard enough in this league to beat teams when you’re not beating yourself. We helped them win tonight, and that’s got to stop. That’s on me, and we’re going to keep at it.”The Rangers have been outscored 23-13 on the road and have allowed at least three goals in every road game.NOTES: The Kings recalled Peter Budaj from Ontario of the American Hockey League to back up Campbell.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Elias Pettersson had one thought when he hit the ice before his first NHL game — stay upright.The 19-year-old Vancouver Canucks‘ center said he knew about the league’s tradition of initiating rookies with a solo skate during warm-ups, but hoped his teammates might make an exception.“Maybe I thought they would forget it because it was lonely, not that fun,” he said. “My only focus was not to fall.”Not only did Pettersson stay on his feet, he scored his first NHL goal on his first shot and also had an assist in the Canucks’ 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.Nikolay Goldobin, Brendan Leipsic Custom Detroit Red Wings Jerseys , Jake Virtanen and Tyler Motte also scored for Vancouver.

Petterson kept the puck and fired a wrist shot into the top of the net.The goal brought chants of “Petter-sson” from the crowd.“Everyone on the team congratulated me, including the coaches. And then I didn’t expect a standing ovation from the crowd. So that was amazing,” said Pettersson, whose parents were among those in attendance.Teammate Eric Gudbranson said Pettersson, who led the Swedish hockey league in scoring last season with 56 poi8nts in 44 games, was ‘an absolute stud’ in his NHL debut.“One of the most impressive things about him is how responsible he is and how competitive he is,” Gudbranson said. “If he turns the puck over, he’s right back on it and he takes it away from you. He doesn’t give up anything. He plays the game incredibly well.”Matthew Tkachuk and Sean Monahan had goals for the Flames, and Mike Smith finished with 18 saves.Even Smith had kind words for Pettersson.“He made a great shot, he put right in the top corner. I got a piece of it with the glove, but yeah I have heard quite a bit about this young kid and he let her go and hit the perfect spot there www.officialoilers.com ,” Smith said.Pettersson then got an assist on Goldobin’s goal in the third period.
