Quinton Byfield scored twice, Trevor Moore got his team-leading 16th goal, and the Los Angeles Kings defeated the Calgary Flames 5-3 on Saturday night.
Alex Laferriere and Pierre-Luc Dubois also scored, Cam Talbot made 29 saves, and the Kings avoided their first three-game losing streak on home ice.
“You kind of sit on that last game that you play and, obviously, it’s good to get the win and kind of not sulk over the break,” Laferriere said.
Blake Coleman had two goals, scoring on both the power play and penalty kill for the Flames, who had won three straight and picked up a point in five straight NHL contests. Rasmus Andersson also scored, and Jacob Markstrom allowed four goals on 33 shots.
"I feel like we should have had two or three more wins on this stretch, and we left some points on the table,” Coleman said.
Los Angeles took charge in the second period on goals by Laferriere and Moore, which characterized a return to aggressive and direct offence after a poor run with four losses in six games.
Laferriere put in Drew Doughty’s pass off his skate for a 3-2 lead at 6:28 of the second, and Moore beat Markstrom over the goalie’s right shoulder midway through the period for a two-goal lead.
