David Rittich made 17 saves for Los Angeles, who swept their back-to-back games after an overtime win against Edmonton on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>In the third period, Kopitar tied the game at 4 by redirecting Quinton Byfield\u2019s rebound. He then capitalized on Kempe\u2019s shot during a power play at 8:55, giving the Kings their first lead of the game and ultimately securing the victory.<\/p>\n<p>For the Flyers, Matvei Michkov, returning after being benched in Saturday&#8217;s game against Anaheim, had a goal and an assist. Tyson Foerster, Scott Laughton, and Joel Farabee also scored, while Aleksei Kolosov recorded 15 saves. Despite Michkov\u2019s strong showing, Philadelphia couldn&#8217;t hold off the Kings&#8217; late surge, falling short in a tightly contested game.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XzHIJkQCU5A?si=FSwhQf40AYNwLhXl\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anze Kopitar scored twice, including the game-winner, as the Los Angeles Kings rallied to defeat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 on Sunday night, earning [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":489201,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[16851,16717],"news_category":[16709,16715,14084],"gn_keywords":[23396,17845,17891],"acf":{"announce":"Los Angeles were 2-4 behind in the second period, but managed to get the victory after inspired performance","video":["video"]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/489200"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=489200"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/489200\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":489202,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/489200\/revisions\/489202"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=489200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=489200"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=489200"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=489200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
