Landeskog’s Late Goal Sends Game 2 into Overtime Tied at 1-1

In a thrilling Game 2 of the first-round playoff series, Colorado’s Gabriel Landeskog scored a dramatic equalizer with just 3:35 left in regulation, tying the game at 1-1 and sending the contest into overtime. The game, which saw a significant delay due to a broken pane of glass behind the Los Angeles Kings’ bench, kept fans on the edge of their seats throughout the night.

The Kings initially took the lead with a power-play goal from Artemi Panarin at 6:56 in the third period. However, Landeskog’s timely response ignited the home crowd, who were eager to see their team fight back. The goals highlighted the intensity of a matchup that has already proven to be fiercely competitive.

Both goaltenders showcased their skills, with Colorado’s Anton Forsberg making 33 saves in regulation, while Los Angeles’ Scott Wedgewood stopped 21 shots, including a critical penalty shot. The game was briefly halted for approximately 17 minutes in the second period after a pane of glass shattered, sending debris onto interim coach D.J. Smith. The incident occurred right after Wedgewood denied Quinton Byfield’s penalty shot, prompting a wave of celebration from fans that led to the glass giving way as Smith ducked for cover.
