— The Kings beat the Phoenix Coyotes for the first time this season, in four tries, with a 4-3 victory on Saturday night at Jobing.com Arena.

— The Kings led 3-0 after less than 14 minutes in the first period and outshot the Coyotes 10-0 in the first eight-plus minutes, but then allowed three consecutive goals before Jarret Stoll scored the game-winning goal just under five minutes into the third period.
