LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Ziggy Palffy's breakaway goal 3:33 into overtime gave the Los Angeles Kings another come-from-behind victory over the Detroit Red Wings, 3-2. Bryan Smolinski picked up off a pass by Detroit rookie Pavel Datsyuk in front of the Kings' net and passed ahead to Palffy in the neutral zone. Playing his first game since October 26, Palffy bore down on Dominik Hasek and slipped a soft shot between the All-Star goaltender's pads for his fifth goal. Palffy failed to convert on a breakaway in the first period and missed an open net in the third. "Dominik is a good goalie, one of the best, so it's always hard to score against him," said Palffy, who missed five games due to back spasms. "He challenges me well. I didn't get anything the first time. I tried to go under the blocker. The second was a little bit better. I tried to move him a little bit. It's always hard to get a breakaway from him, you don't know what to do. I had to be quick and decide right away. You never can be too late against Dominck." Kings coach Andy Murray was happy to have Palffy back, as well as defenseman Aaron Miller, who returned after missing eight games due to back spasms. "I think Ziggy had a lot of jump," Murray said. "It certainly looks like he's playing pain-free and when he's skating like that, it's certainly very encouraging." Eric Belanger and Adam Deadmarsh scored in the third period for the Kings, who notched their first overtime victory in four tries. They also improved to 2-9 in one-goal games. "To be very honest, I think we can play a lot better than we've played," Murray said. "We got a win here, but we can be a lot better." Defenseman Chris Chelios scored with 5:33 remaining to force overtime for the Red Wings, who fell to 3-1-0 in overtime and lost for just the third time in the last nine games. "We were fortunate to get the point," Detroit coach Scotty Bowman said. "We didn't have much of an attack. We haven't had a lot of scoring chances lately, but we've made the most of our goals -- getting three points the last two nights on just three goals. It's something that's hard to address because it's all around the league." The Red Wings are coming off Friday's 1-0 triumph at Anaheim as Luc Robitaille became the 13th player in NHL history to reach the 600-goal mark. Robitaille, who spent 11 seasons in Los Angeles during two stints with the Kings, was honored with a pregame video tribute. "That was really nice," he said. "They didn't have to do that. The fans here have always treated me great. Los Angeles is my home." Detroit is the best team in the league, but the Kings showed the same form that dug themselves out of a two games to none deficit against the Red Wings in the Western Conference quarterfinals. Los Angeles rallied from a three-goal deficit in the final eight minutes to take Game Four. Trailing 1-0 heading into the final period, the Kings began to dominate. Belanger, who got the overtime winner in Game Four last spring, scored his fourth goal at 3:41. Ian Laperriere moved down the left side and dropped a pass at the top of the faceoff circle, where Belanger skated around Datsyuk. He faked a slap shot before beating Hasek with a high backhander. Deadmarsh, a Red Wings-killer from his days with the Colorado Avalanche, gave Los Angeles a 2-1 advantage at 10:51. Jason Allison passed from behind the net and Deadmarsh put the puck between Hasek's pads for his seventh goal. Deadmarsh scored back-to-back goals in Game Six, including the overtime winner that sent the Kings to the conference semifinals against his former team. He has 11 goals and four assists in 24 games vs. Detroit. "It's obviously nice to win a hockey game," Deadmarsh said. "We've really been struggling lately. We've had our tough times this year, so winning this game is a good step in the right direction. We got some fresh faces back in the lineup that were dearly missed and hopefully everyone can stay healthy and pull together and keep it going." Chelios scored on Detroit's second shot of the period at 14:27, one-timing a pass from fellow defenseman Steve Duchesne at the left point and beating Felix Potvin for his first goal since December 31, 1999. Potvin made 20 saves for his fifth win in 15 games. "We were real good in the third period," Murray said. "I think the only chance they had was the one they scored on. I thought Felix made a couple of good saves at the right time and the guys who are difference-makers made a difference tonight." Hasek, who turned aside 26 shots, kept the game tied with a diving stop on Belanger with 4:35 left and the Red Wings killed a power play in overtime after Kris Draper was penalized for boarding near the end of regulation. Igor Larionov opened the scoring 11 minutes into the first period, when defenseman Fredrik Olausson's shot deflected off his leg in front of the net. But Detroit fell to 10-1-0 when carrying a lead into the third period and 7-2-0 when scoring first.
