Red Wings 3, Kings 2, OT

DETROIT (AP) -Mikael Samuelsson made an impact in his first game in more than a month.

His goal 3:26 into overtime completed a comeback and gave the Detroit Red Wings a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday night.

Samuelsson had been out since late January with a broken bone in his foot.

Pavel Datsyuk had a goal and assisted on the game-winner, and Brett Lebda also scored for Detroit. Dominik Hasek, who returned after missing three games with tightness in his thigh, made 24 saves.

Raitis Ivanans and Brian Willsie scored for Los Angeles, and Sean Burke stopped 51 shots.

"We worked hard and our goaltender gave us a great effort," Kings defenseman Aaron Miller said. "We were in our end most of the last two periods."

Samuelsson tipped in a pass from Datsyuk on a 2-on-1 break to end it.

"You just have to always be ready for it when Pav has it," Samuelsson said. "He was wide open. I know how talented he is. He's more talented than me, so I played the odds ... I guess."

Lebda tied the game at 2 with 5:58 left in the third period off an end-to-end rush on which he cut around Kevin Dallman off the left wing, and flipped a shot in off Burke.

"I've had a few of those chances this year and didn't capitalize," said Lebda. "Hopefully, we can get a few more of those before the playoffs."

Hasek, who left the puck for Lebda behind the Detroit net, got the lone assist.

"Any win feels good," said Hasek. "Most important, I feel great about the way I played and didn't have any problems and we won the game. I feel great."

The Red Wings outshot the Kings 26-4 in the third period.

"It's (Detroit) a great hockey club," said Burke. "You can tell they never feel desperate. They just keep working."

Datsyuk tied the game at 1 for Detroit with 5:56 left in the second period on his 21st goal. He put a loose puck in off Burke's skate.

Willsie gave the Kings a 2-1 lead just 27 seconds later when he batted a rebound past Hasek.

Los Angeles opened the scoring on Ivanans' goal with 8:44 left in the first period. He put in the rebound of John Zeiler's shot after Zeiler had picked the puck up off a turnover by Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall.
