Kings halt six-game skid, down Rangers

LOSANGELES— Rookie Michael Amadio had a goal and an assist in Los Angeles’ three-goal second period as the Kings snapped their six-game slide with a 4-2 win over the New York Rangers on Sunday.

Jonathan Quick made 21 saves while ending his personal five-game skid. Tanner Pearson and Jake Muzzin also scored in the second period, and Trevor Lewis added an empty-net goal with 17.8 seconds left for the Kings, who went 3-for-3 on the power play.

David Desharnais had a power-play goal, and Jimmy Vesey also scored for the Rangers, who have dropped four straight on the road. Henrik Lundqvist made 26 saves.

Trailing 2-0 after the first period, Los Angeles got back in it by scoring three power-play goals in the second against the league’s fourthbest penalty kill.

The Kings cut their deficit to 2-1 on Muzzin’s goal 30 seconds into the period. Amadio’s second career goal at 6:13 tied it before Pearson put Los Angeles ahead 3-2 at 10:22 by redirecting Alec Martinez’s shot from the blue line and sending it trickling in through Lundqvist’s legs.

The Kings had three power-play goals in a period for the third time this season. They also did it in their 5-0 win at Edmonton on Jan. 2, the last victory prior to their losing streak.
