The Los Angeles Kings have beaten the New Jersey Devils in game one of the Stanley Cup finals.
Anze Kopitar scored a spectacular goal on a breakaway with 11:47 left in overtime on Wednesday night as the Los Angeles Kings beat the New Jersey Devils 2-1 in game one of the NHL's Stanley Cup finals.
Kopitar faked a backhand shot, put the puck on his forehand and beat a prone Martin Brodeur.
Los Angeles has won all nine of its road games in the playoffs.
Colin Fraser scored in the first period for the Kings, the No.8 seed in the Western Conference who beat the top three teams to get to their first Stanley Cup finals since 1993.
Anton Volchenkov tied it late in the second period for New Jersey.
The Kings are now three wins away from the club's first NHL title. They have won 11 consecutive road playoff games dating back to last season.
Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick finished with 17 saves in what was a relatively easy night.
Brodeur had 23 saves as the Devils lost in overtime for just the second time this postseason.
