Kings’ quick spurt tops Pens

LOS ANGELES — Mikey Anderson, Viktor Arvidsson and Anze Kopitar scored in a span of 1:23 of the third period and the Los Angeles Kings won their third straight, 6-2 over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night.

“To come back and put those three goals together was powerful,” Kings coach Todd McLellan said. “It deflates the opposition quickly, and guys made good plays. Confident plays.”

Dustin Brown had a goal and an assist to reach 700 career points, Sean Durzi had a goal and two assists, and the Kings went 5-2-0 on their seven-game homestand. Jonathan Quick made 27 saves.

Kris Letang and Radim Zohorna scored for the Penguins, who have lost two of three following a 10-game winning streak. Tristan Jarry made 39 saves.

“We came out a little flat. They had more juice and had a much better start than us, and we just weren’t able to find our game,” Penguins center Teddy Blueger said.

Shortly after the Penguins tied it at 2 1:37 into the third on Zohorna’s one-timer, the Kings seized control for good.
