Brown's shootout goal gives Kings comeback victory

Feb 25, 2007 - 6:46 AM LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- After the Los Angeles Kings staged a late rally in the third period, Dustin Brown gave them a much-needed home win in dramatic fashion.

Defensemen Lubomir Visnovsky and Rob Blake scored in the final 4:46 of the third and Brown tallied in the sixth round of the shootout to give the Kings a 6-5 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.

Alexander Frolov had a goal and an assist and Michael Cammalleri set up three tallies for Los Angeles, which snapped a seven-game losing streak at home. It had not won at Staples Center since January 6, when it posted a 4-2 triumph over Detroit.

After goaltender Sean Burke denied Andrew Brunette on Colorado's sixth-round attempt in the bonus format, Brown skated in and snapped the puck between netminder Peter Budaj's pads to clinch the win.

The Kings wasted a 2-0 lead, allowing four straight goals by the Avalanche. Frolov and Milan Hejduk traded tallies midway through the third before Visnovsky cut the deficit to 5-4 with a slap shot from the blue line that got past Budaj.

With just 3.9 seconds remaining in the period, Blake charged to the net from the point and flipped a rebound over Budaj's stick during a scramble in front to forge a 5-5 tie.
