Ray Ferraro scored with 2:56 remaining in overtime for his second goal of the game Monday night as the Los Angeles Kings rallied for a 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.
Yanic Perreault tied the score with 2:07 left in regulation for the Kings.
The Kings scored on their only shot of the extra period. Ferraro took a pass from Vladimir Tsyplakov, skated in untouched and crashed the net. The puck trickled in under goaltender Guy Hebert’s right leg while he was on the seat of his pants.
The Kings were without defenseman Mattias Norstrom, who was suspended for at least one game pending a hearing for a hit Saturday that will keep Edmonton Oilers center Tony Hrkac out for 10 days.
Islanders 1, Red Wings 1: The Islanders ended their 10-game losing streak behind rookie goaltender Wade Flaherty, who made 30 saves in his second straight start since being recalled from the minors Friday.
Igor Larionov scored for the Red Wings at 4:52 of the third period on a slap shot from the right circle that got between Flaherty’s pads.
Tom Chorske put the Islanders ahead 1-0 at 2:28 of the second period with his seventh goal of the season.
Rangers 3, Maple Leafs 2: In New York, Wayne Gretzky set up three goals and rookie goaltender Dan Cloutier remained unbeaten in three decisions.

Jaromir Jagr, the NHL’s third-leading scorer, assisted on both of Francis’ goals and iced the game with his 21st goal of the season with 2:28 left. The Penguins moved to 17-0-2 this season when leading at the start of the third period.
Keith Primeau scored for the seventh time in the last eight games as the Hurricanes tied the Penguins 1-1 at 3:33 of the final period. But Primeau’s 15th goal of the season held up for less than 8 minutes as Carolina fell to 0-5 against Pittsburgh this season.
