NOTE: Drew Doughty took only two shifts in the first period and left the game with an undisclosed “upper-body injury,” according to a Kings spokesman. Doughty took a big open-ice hit from Philadelphia’s Zic Rinaldo in the first minute and, according to the official stat sheet, returned for one shift but then was not on the bench after that. Kings general manager Dean Lombardi said the injury — not a head injury — will sideline Doughty for 7-10 days.

Kings 2, Flyers 1: The Kings took a 2-1 lead with 7:25 remaining in the third period.

Williams’ backhand shot was saved, but Williams got the rebound and beat Bryzgalov.
Kings 2, Flyers 2: The Kings’ lead lasted only 64 seconds. Shortly after Williams’ goal, Mike Richards was called for hooking and the Flyers scored 27 seconds into the power play.

Flyers 1, Kings 0: The Kings killed a Flyers 5-on-3 power play that lasted 44 seconds, but the Flyers scored six seconds later.

Kings 1, Flyers 1: Just like the Flyers, the Kings failed to score on a 5-on-3 advantage, then scored a power play goal. Justin Williams took a pass from Simon Gagne and shot from the slot. The puck deflected off Bryzgalov’s left shoulder and into the net to tie the game 1-1 with 8:31 remaining in the first period. Willie Mitchell also got an assist.
