The Canucks gave up a late goal

Mike Richards scored late in regulation before Anze Kopitar buried the winner 48 seconds into the extra period Monday as the Los Angeles Kings came back to stun the Vancouver Canucks 3-2.
The Canucks gave up a late goal in regulation in losing to 2-1 to the San Jose Sharks to kick off their homestand on Nov. 17, and a similar script played out against Los Angeles (16-6-3), with Richards scoring with 2:56 left to force OT.
“A couple mistakes are costing us,” said Canucks captain Henrik Sedin, who gave his team a 2-1 lead in the third period before the wheels fell off. “We’re playing so well defensively throughout the game and it seems like every time something late in games is costing us goals. It’s extremely tough to take.”

The Canucks have lost seven of their last eight, scoring just nine goals total in those defeats. They finished their homestand with an ugly 1-2-3 record, with the only victory coming in a 6-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
“We’re really sticking together as a group and that’s all you can ask for,” said Sedin. “We should have had two points, but again we’re standing here talking about a loss.”
Vancouver (12-9-5) is now 0-9-4 when scoring two goals or less and fell to 1-4-3 versus Pacific Division rivals this season.
After Richards took a feed from Jeff Carter to tie the score with his sixth of the season, Kopitar beat Luongo upstairs for his seventh of the campaign as the Kings picked up at least a point for a 10th straight game (7-0-3).
