Kings 4, Avalanche 3

The Kings took a two-goal lead with their second power-play goal of the game. Anderson tried to play the puck into the corner, but Justin Williams stopped it up for the Kings and centered it. Brown was there, in the slot, to beat Anderson with a quick wrist shot with 2:45 remaining in the second period.

The 4-2 lead lasted only 55 seconds, though. Davis Drewiske’s clearing attempt, from deep in the Kings’ zone, hit the skate of Colorado’s Chris Stewart, and the puck deflected to Stastny, who beat Quick with a wrist shot to reduce Colorado’s deficit to 4-3 with 1:50 remaining in the period.
