The league-leading point getter scored his second goal of the game in the third period to ignite a four-goal outburst and propel the Kings to a 5-2 win against Pittsburgh. It was the first loss in eight road games for the Penguins this season.
SECOND STAR: Jason Spezza(notes), F, Ottawa Senators
The Senators centre returned after being sidelined for two games with back pain and responded with a goal and two assists in Ottawa’s 3-2 overtime win against Tampa Bay. Spezza’s overtime winner was his first goal in 11 games this season.
