Those fans who stay up late were rewarded with a miraculous finish in Los
Angeles tonight.

responded with the fastest five goals in their history (5 in 5:07)
LAK:Brown, D. (12:46 in 3rd), Thornton, S. (14:01 in 3rd), Frolov, A. (15:35 in
3rd), Kopitar, A. (15:59 in 3rd), Nagy, L. (17:53 in 3rd)
Not to be outdone, Mike Modano tied the game with 1:17 to play before Los
Angeles won it in overtime on a second goal by Kopitar.
