WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Adrian Kempe stickhandled into the slot and beat Eric Comrie with a wrist shot to the top right corner at 1:14 of overtime to give Los Angeles a 2-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night in the Kings' first game in almost a week because of wildfires. Alex Turcotte also scored and Darcy Kuemper made 18 saves to help Los Angeles win its fifth straight game. The Kings played for the first time since beating Tampa Bay at home last Saturday night. Their game against Calgary scheduled for Wednesday night was postponed. Turcotte opened the scoring at 4:39 of the second, redirecting Adrian Kempe's point shot. Mark Scheifele tied it on a power play with 9:38 left, his 24th goal of the season.
