Who scored the 2014 Stanley Cup-clinching goal in double overtime for Los Angeles?

Alec Martinez scored the 2014 Stanley Cup-clinching goal in double overtime for the Los Angeles Kings. His goal ended Game 5 against the New York Rangers and gave Los Angeles a 3–2 victory and a four-games-to-one series win.

The decisive play came at 14:43 of the second overtime period at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Martinez’s shot went through traffic and past Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, ending one of the longest games in Stanley Cup Final history. The victory secured the Kings’ second championship, following their breakthrough title in 2012.

Justin Williams is an easy player to confuse with Martinez because Williams won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. Drew Doughty was another crucial Kings defenceman, while Anze Kopitar led Los Angeles’ attack and served as captain. However, none of those three scored the clinching goal. Martinez’s overtime winner is one of the defining moments in Kings history.
