LOS ANGELES — Alec Martinez scored with 55 seconds remaining, and the Kings stopped a six-game skid with a 4-3 win over the Rangers on Sunday.
Martinez brought the puck from behind the net into the offensive zone and fired a wrist shot through the legs of Brendan Smith and past goaltender Henrik Lundqvist for his first goal of the season.
Ilya Kovalchuk had a goal and an assist, Trevor Lewis scored and Jack Campbell made 22 saves in place of the injured Jonathan Quick for the Kings. Dustin Brown, making his season debut after breaking a finger in Los Angeles’ final preseason game, also scored.
