SUNRISE, Fla. - Defenceman Jack Johnson scored the only goal in the shootout, and the Los Angeles Kings rallied to beat the Florida Panthers 4-3 Monday night.
Johnson and Jarrett Stoll scored power-play goals and Randy Jones scored short-handed for the Kings, came back from a 2-0 deficit and closed out a five-game road trip at 3-2.
Jonathan Quick finished with 26 saves for Los Angeles, which beat Florida for the fifth straight time.
Nathan Horton, Cory Stillman and Victor Oreskovich scored for the Panthers. Tomas Vokoun, who came in with three shutouts in his previous five starts, stopped 31 shots for Florida.
Johnson, who had the best scoring chance in overtime after an end-to-end rush, beat Vokoun in the shootout with a deke to his forehand. He scored after Anze Kopitar shot wide on Los Angeles' first shootout attempt.
Quick stopped Rostislav Olesz and Steven Reinprecht before clinching the victory with a stick save on Stillman's backhand off a deke.
Los Angeles scored three consecutive times before Oreskovich tied the game 3-3 at 14:55 with his first NHL goal. Bryan Allen's shot from the point went off someone in front of the net and floated to the side. Oreskovich put the puck down and put it into the open net.
Jones had given the Kings a 3-2 lead at 7:58 of the third. With teammate Alexander Frolov in the penalty box for goaltender interference, Jones scored off a rebound when Vokoun couldn't control Michal Handzus' high slap shot.
Johnson began the Kings' comeback at 9:10 of the second with a slap shot from just inside the blue line.
Stoll tied the game 2-2 at 2:23 of the third period with a slap shot from the top of the right faceoff circle. He scored off a feed from Kopitar, who came into the game as the NHL's scoring leader with 31 points.
Horton opened the scoring at 2:05 of the second with a power-play goal. He beat Quick over his right shoulder with a wrist from the wing.
Stillman scored 1:35 later on a 2-on-1 set up by a beautiful pass from Dennis Seidenberg from deep inside the Florida zone to Steven Reinprecht just inside the Kings blue line. Reinprecht then fed Stillman for a one-timer tip-in.
Los Angeles outshot Florida 10-7 in a scoreless first period, but the best chance belonged to the Panthers' Rostislav Olesz. He hit the post with a backhand off a rebound.
