Jake DeBrusk's 2nd goal lifts Canucks past Kings in OT

Jake DeBrusk scored twice, including the overtime winner, as the Vancouver Canucks edged the visiting Los Angeles Kings 4-3 on Tuesday night.

DeBrusk tapped in an Elias Pettersson feed at the side of the net at 2:58 of the extra frame.

Defenseman Elias Pettersson and Zeev Buium also scored for Vancouver (25-48-8, 58 points), who have won three straight.

Kevin Lankinen made 31 saves as the Canucks finished the season 9-27-5 on home ice. Vancouver wraps up the regular season on Thursday in Edmonton.

Quinton Byfield and Alex Laferriere each scored and added an assist, and Adrian Kempe had the other goal for the Kings (35-26-20, 90 points).

Darcy Kuemper stopped 21 shots.

Los Angeles, currently in the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference, can still catch the third seed in the Pacific Division with one game remaining in the regular season. The Kings wrap up the regular season on Thursday in Calgary.

The Canucks outshot the Kings 7-4 as the two teams were tied 1-1 after 20 minutes.

Pettersson opened the scoring at 9:21 of the first, putting his shot from the point under the blocker of a screened Kuemper for his third of the season.

Los Angeles tied it 1-1 as Byfield redirected a Laferriere feed past Lankinen for his 23rd of the season -- matching his career best.

The Canucks took a 2-1 lead on a power play 52 seconds into the middle frame, with DeBrusk banging home the loose puck off Brock Boeser's shot past Kuemper for his 22nd.

Kempe responded 12 seconds later, chipping an Anze Kopitar feed up and over the pad of Lankinen for his 36th of the season.

Los Angeles took its first lead at 2:17 of the second as Laferriere put home the rebound off Drew Doughty's point shot for his 21st.
