The Los Angeles Kings defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday night with a buzzer-beating goal.
The Columbus Blue Jackets and the Los Angeles Kings were one second away from going to overtime in a 2-2 game, but Drew Doughty's power play goal at the buzzer gave the Kings the 3-2 victory, a 25th victory on the season and 60 overall points.
