LA Kings rally late, finish 3rd in the Pacific Division with a 5-4 overtime victory over Chicago

Viktor Arvidsson scored the tying goal with 1:21 left in regulation, and the Los Angeles Kings earned a playoff rematch with Edmonton by jumping into third place in the Pacific Division with a 5-4 overtime victory against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night. The Kings' comeback and the defending champion Vegas Golden Knights' loss to Anaheim propelled Los Angeles into a third straight postseason meeting with the Oilers, who beat the Kings in both of their previous two first-round matchups.
