Four-goal third period key as Capitals slip past Kings

WASHINGTON — Marcus Johansson scored on a wraparound with 5:25 left to help Washington beat Los Angeles 4-3 on Saturday, the Capitals’ second victory in three games when trailing going into the third period.

Nic Dowd and John Carlson scored to erase a two-goal deficit before Lars Eller gave Washington the lead. Viktor Arvidsson, who assisted on the first two Kings goals, scored to tie it again before Johansson put the Capitals ahead for good.

Dmitry Orlov tied a career high with three assists, and Darcy Kuemper made 21 saves, including a couple of important stops in the final minute, for Washington, which has won three of four after dropping its first two.

Jonathan Quick stopped 28 shots for Los Angeles, which capped a five-game trip after getting blown out Thursday in Pittsburgh. The Kings won the first three on the trip.

The Capitals’ rally came after a frazzled, flustered first two periods full of mistakes that added up to a two-goal deficit when Arvidsson set up Sean Durzi for his first goal of the season and Phillip Danault for his third.
