Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Kings took Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, defeating the New Jersey Devils 2-1, on a thrilling overtime goal by Anze Kopitar.
With the victory, the Kings are now 3-0 in overtime games in the 2012 postseason, having also won their first nine road playoff games, setting an NHL record.
The Kings two playoff losses both took place at Staples Center in LA.
If the Kings win Game 2 on Saturday, they will tie the NHL record for the most road playoff wins ever in one postseason.
