VANCOUVER, B.C. — Michael Cammalleri scored his league-leading eighth goal as part of a three-goal Los Angeles outburst in the second period and the Kings beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 Friday night.
The Canucks have lost four of five home games.
Jack Johnson scored his first league goal and Alexander Frolov also scored during a seven-minute stretch, and Dustin Brown was credited with an empty-net goal as the Kings won for the second time in three games after losing five straight.
"For some reason, we're getting five, six minutes putting us behind the 8-ball, and it's a tough league to come back in," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said.
Jason LaBarbera, who replaced Jean-Sebastien Aubin for the final period of a 4-3 loss in Calgary the night before, was back in goal Friday for his third start of the season. He had 26 saves for his first league win since April 2006. It was the Kings' first road win in four tries.
Mattias Ohlund scored with 5:47 left to make it close, and Roberto Luongo made 14 saves for the Canucks.
Matt Cooke, who two games ago was a healthy scratch for the first time in more than seven years, opened the scoring with his first goal of the season midway through the first period.
Johnson, a prized defensive prospect playing his first full season, converted a three-on-one pass from Kyle Calder, after a Canucks giveaway, at 3:04 in the second.
Cammalleri gave the Kings their first lead with Vancouver forward Rick Rypien serving a double-minor for high-sticking Johnson. Luongo made a nice first save on Cammalleri alone in front and managed to stop the rebound as well, but the Kings' forward was untouched as he converted his third whack at the puck.
Frolov rounded out the second-period scoring at 9:57 with a tap-in from the side of the net.
Note
• Penguins co-owner Mario Lemieux will get $21 million as part of the team's settlement of its 1990s bankruptcy, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
Lemieux was owed $32 million in deferred compensation when he retired as a player in 1997. The Hall of Famer won't get additional money on the contract and is believed to be the only unsecured creditor to get less than 100 percent of money owed.
