Story summary

The Los Angeles Kings defeated the New York Islanders 3-2 in overtime on Thursday night, with Artemi Panarin scoring twice. The win marked the Kings' second consecutive victory after losing their first six games of the season. Despite being outshot 43-26 and largely outplayed for much of the game, the Kings benefited from rusty goaltending by Semyon Varlamov, who allowed soft goals to Panarin early on. Brandt Clarke scored the winning goal with 2:18 left in overtime after a sustained possession by the Kings' team. This victory made the Islanders particularly frustrated as they controlled most of the game but were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities and struggled with finishing plays.
