Luckily for him, so did Jacob Markstrom.Pearson scored for the fourth time this season and got the lone shootout goal, lifting the Los Angeles Kings over the previously unbeaten Vancouver Canucks 4-3 on Saturday night.Pearson fired from the right hash marks and beat Markstrom between the legs.Ill admit, that was a missed shot, Pearson said. I was trying to go high and kind of fanned on it and had to go five-hole.Peter Budaj was pressed into service after Jeff Zatkoff injured his groin in the morning skate and stopped 22 shots for his second straight win. Budaj played in his 300th NHL game and is the third goalie the Kings have used this season. Jonathan Quick also injured his groin in the season opener in San Jose and is expected to miss the next three months.Budaj joined the Kings on a two-way deal last season and played mostly in the minors.

Two years ago I was on a (professional try out) and I didnt have anything. A year and half later, Im not the guy who will play most of the games. It shows you that you should never quit.Alexander Edler tied it on a power play with 34.4 seconds left in the third period.The Kings had a power play for the final 1:16 of overtime but Markstrom made two keys saves to send it into a shootout.

We didnt create a lot the first two. But our guys stayed with it and we capitalized on that power play late when we needed to. Its better to get one point than nothing.Pearsons shootout goal came on a wrist shot from the right hash marks, beating Markstrom five-hole.McNabb scored 4:35 into the first when he banked a wrist shot off the crossbar and behind Markstrom. Pearson scored with 1:36 left in the first when Markstrom failed to cleanly glove Alec Martinezs point shot and Pearson knocked in the rebound.The Kings scored again 33 seconds into the next period when Markstrom lost his footing in the crease and let Brown poke in a rebound for a shorthanded goal.

Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. Daniel Ricciardo feels like he is enjoying the best form of his career and says he is in a good place in and out of the Red Bull RB12.Ricciardo returned to the top step in Malaysia, though he had to settle for sixth in Japan last weekend. The Australian is on course to repeat his third-place finish in the 2014 season, something he puts down to the strong momentum currently on his side.Ive definitely felt on lately, and thats not just because of Malaysia, Ricciardo wrote on his Red Bull column. Winning again after a long drought didnt change my confidence or self-belief - with both of those things, I think theyre at a level where they needed to be even before the win. You dont want those things to go too crazy -- I think you can end up getting a bit complacent if that happens.But the win felt good and in a way, was a bit of a relief. My confidence has been at a solid level for a while now and thats helping me, so I wont change my approach just because of a win. It felt different (and pretty cool) coming to Suzuka as the guy whod won the most recent race, but as soon as I got in the car in Japan, it was straight back to business.ddddddddddddRicciardo, who struggled to eighth in the championship last season, says his confidence has been steadily growing throughout the season.Its sometimes hard to get a handle on a drivers form in F1 - its not like, say, tennis, where if someones in a groove serving or nailing their passing shots, then thats pretty obvious for the people watching. As a driver, you can feel like youre in a good space and the car isnt up to it, or the other way around is also true.All this year, Ive felt pretty good, and thats definitely ramped up lately. Im in a good place out of the car, feel fit, and my confidence is up. The car has made some great progress, the momentum has risen and theres been a good run of podiums lately. Max has given the team a push too, theres no denying that. ' ' '
