Dustin Brown's double-OT goal gives Kings 2-0 Stanley Cup Final lead over Rangers

LOS ANGELES – Dustin Brown scored at 10:26 of double overtime as the Los Angeles Kings won Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final, 5-4, to take a 2-0 series lead over the New York Rangers.
Brown circled around in front of the Rangers goal as Willie Mitchell fired the puck from the point. Brown managed to get his stick on the puck and deflect it past Henrik Lundqvist (40 saves). It was Brown’s fifth goal of the playoffs.It was a chaotic game. Leads grew and shrank. Heroes one moment were liabilities on their next shift. Two of the best goalies in the world saw more rubber fly past them than if they were watching the Daytona 500.

The Rangers had two-goal leads on three different occasions: In the first period at 2-0, in the second at 3-1 and then again at 4-2. Each time, the Kings would rally, showing the combination of resiliency and self-inflicted miscues that forced LA to win three Game 7s on the road.

The Kings have rallied from deficits of two or more goals in three straight games and four of their last five playoff games. The Rangers broke through first after a turnover by Justin Williams in the defensive zone. The Kings forward attempted to move the puck up the boards but had it intercepted by Dominic Moore, who passed it back to defenseman Ryan McDonagh. His blast from the point sailed through a Derek Dorsett screen for the 1-0 lead at 10:28
