DALLAS (AP) — Adrian Kempe scored 37 seconds into overtime and the Los Angeles Kings beat Dallas 3-2 on Thursday night, handing the slumping Stars their fourth consecutive loss.

Darcy Kuemper made 29 saves, and former Stars Corey Perry and Cody Ceci also scored as the Kings won in regulation for the first time this season.

Wyatt Johnston and Jason Robertson scored power-play goals for the Stars, and Johnston also had an assist. Jake Oettinger stopped 22 shots.

Kempe scored from the slot on a pass from Quinton Byfield on the Kings’ only rush of overtime.

It was Kempe’s second straight overtime winner — following Tuesday night’s 2-1 win at St. Louis — and it came on Byfield’s second assist of the game.

The Stars have dropped four straight before New Year’s for the first time since Oct.
