A dream night for Dan Cloutier was a nightmare for the Vancouver Canucks until they rallied late for a 2-1 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Kings.
Cloutier, whose National Hockey League career crumbled soon after leaving the Canucks, played one of his best games in two years for the Los Angeles Kings and was within three minutes of his first shutout since 2004.
But Canuck Ryan Kesler tied it with 2:41 remaining, then won it 46 seconds into overtime when he deftly deflected Willie Mitchell's point shot after some good stickhandling by Alex Burrows.
