J.T. Miller scored on a power play 1:36 into overtime, and the visiting Vancouver Canucks beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Miller scored from the right faceoff circle on a slap shot for his 31st of the season. Vancouver earned its second straight win and remained on top of the Western Conference.

Elias Pettersson, who signed an eight-year extension with the Canucks on Saturday, scored in the second period. He became the seventh player in franchise history to record at least 30 goals in three straight seasons.

The 25-year-old Swede is one point shy from 400 in his career. He has 165 goals and 399 points in 389 games, which puts him on track for the second-fewest games by a Canucks player to reach the milestone. Pavel Bure did it in 360 games.

The Kings opened the scoring midway through the first period when Phillip Danault forced Canucks defenceman Filip Hronek into a turnover behind the net. Danault then passed to Moore, who was set up near the crease and put a wrist shot into the net for his 24th goal of the season and third in five games.

Pettersson responded at 16:36 of the second when he skated into the slot from the left faceoff circle, eluded three Kings defencemen and put in a wrist shot. Talbot was screened by VancouverB次元官网网址檚 Conor Garland and Los AngelesB次元官网网址� Jacob Moverare on the play.

Canucks defenceman Carson Soucy saw his first action since Jan. 20. He missed 17 games due to a fractured knuckle after he was struck on a hand by a shot against Toronto.
