Samuelsson scores in OT for Canucks

Mikael Samuelsson scored his second goal 8:52 into overtime to give the Vancouver Canucks a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night in Game 1 of the first-round Western Conference series.

Both goalies made game-saving stops before Samuelsson ended it.

Los Angeles' Jonathan Quick got across quickly on Henrik Sedin's one-timer on a 2-on-1 break 4 minutes into the extra period. Two minutes later, Roberto Luongo lunged back to swipe the puck off the goal line with his glove after Jack Johnson's rebound attempt hit his blocker and trickled toward the goal.
