Los Angeles lost 2: 3 after extra time on Saturday night. Tatar is still waiting for the first goal of the season and has not even scored in the last five duels.
In the fourth triumph, Los Angeles decided in the 42nd second of overtime Alex Iafallo.
At least the point for the “devils” was set 24 seconds before the end of regular playing time by the Czech striker Pavel Zacha with a 2: 2 equalizing goal.
“I think we would all welcome an easier victory without having to play overtime, but things don’t always happen the way we want them to.
In past meetings, we have been able to cope with the pitfalls of fate and find a way to win. A lot of things are going in the right direction for us now, “Kings coach Todd McLellan told nhl.com.

The Devils stopped doing well after a solid start to the season, they lost the third game in a row. They lack elite defender Dougie Hamilton for lower body injuries.
Tatar played in the guests’ jersey 12:36 minutes, scored two penalty minutes and two “hits”. His compatriots Christián Jaroš and Marián Studenič did not fit into the New Jersey team.
For the first time in its history, Edmonton won nine of the ten inaugural duels of the season, dealing with the New York Rangers 6: 5 after extra time. The author of the winning goal was Leon Draisaitl, who, like Connor McDavid and defender Tyson Barrie, had a 1 + 2 balance in the duel.
Edmonton lost 1: 4 in the second period, but then inhaled a big turn, which was supported by two-goaler Finn Jesse Puljujärvi. The highlight of the duel was McDavida’s goal at 5: 5.
Captain Oilers brazenly threw the puck between the four defending Rangers players, pushed himself between them and did not give a chance bluff to the goalkeeper Alexandar Georgiev.

“We did a great job of unpacking it in the third period and being able to return to the match. We scored one goal after another, we got the spectators to a boil, it was an exciting duel.
It all escalated in the end, “said McDavid, who, together with Draisaitl, are building a lead at the top of the league productivity table.
The German striker leads her with 23 points (10 + 13), one point ahead of McDavid (8 + 14). The Oilers became the second team of the season after Tampa to win a three-goal match. Defender Barrie broke the 400 points in the NHL, two goals in the Rangers jersey scored by Mika Zibanejad.
Vancouver lost to Nashville at home 2: 3 with goalkeeper Jaroslav Halák on the substitute. Kyle Connor and Nikolaj Ehlers shared the triumph of Winnipeg over Chicago 5: 1 with a goal and assistance.
The Jets are experiencing the best start to the season since moving the club from Atlanta, collecting 14 points (6-2-2) in the first ten games of the year. They have won six of the past seven matches. On the contrary, the Blackhawks continue to worry, they lost the 11th duel out of the first twelve, they have only four points on their account.
Arizona also lost in its 11th performance in the new year, Anaheim beat it 3: 1 on his ice. Coyotes thus equaled the negative club record from the 2017/2018 season. At that time, they also scored only a point (0-1-10) in the first eleven duels of the season.
Throughout the NHL history, only New York Rangers have experienced worse entry, starting 1943/44 with 15 games without a win (0-1-1).
“I’m not happy with how we did and how we worked on the ice,” said coyote coach Andre Tourigny.
Goalkeeper Anthony Stolarz was overcome from 29 shots only by defender Shayne Gostisbehere, who took him for a clean sheet eight seconds before the end of the duel. Adam Henrique contributed to the victory with goals and assistance.
Troy Terry assisted and scored in the 10th game in the series, which was the last time the current team captain Ryan Getzlaf made it out of the Ducks players in 2015/2016. The “Duckers” won the third match in a row and stretched the scoring line for five matches (3–2–0).
