The Los Angeles Kings have been leaving goalie Jonathan Quick very little room for error the past six weeks because of their struggles to score. They finally got a goal 38 seconds into overtime from defenseman Drew Doughty during a goalmouth scramble Thursday night, and Quick tied a career best with his NHL-leading sixth shutout in a 1-0 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes.
