LOS ANGELES – It figured that a team that needed three Game 7 road wins to reach the Stanley Cup Final would need a double-overtime thriller to win the Stanley Cup.
The Los Angeles Kings, who proved its resiliency throughout the postseason, showed it one last time Friday night when defenseman Alec Martinez scored at 14:43 of double overtime to give the Kings a 3-2 win against the New York Rangers and their Stanley Cup title in three seasons.
"Tonight's not a night to reminisce, but there will be a time this summer when you look back at what an amazing run it was," Kings center Mike Richards said.
The Kings needed a third-period goal by Marian Gaborik just to send the game to overtime. General manager Dean Lombardi had acquired him at the trade deadline to score big goals.
