Kempe scored the winning goal, Los Angeles' second goal, after just over a minute into overtime with a wrist shot up into the top right corner behind Winnipeg's goalkeeper Eric Comrie, and set the final score at 2–1 in Los Angeles' favor.

Kempe also got an assist for Los Angeles' first goal when a shot from him was deflected in by Alex Turcotte.

With everything that's happening back home in Los Angeles, there are a lot of emotions. But everyone stepped up and did their part, we kept it simple and played 60 solid minutes against one of the league's best teams and best home teams, says Kempe to nhl.com.

The win was Los Angeles' fifth in a row, despite a break of nearly a week due to the devastating fires in Los Angeles that led to the match that was supposed to be played on Wednesday at home being cancelled.
