Ducks 4, Kings 2: Corey Perry buried a loose puck in the slot with 8:39 remaining and added an empty-netter as host Anaheim rallied from a two-goal deficit with four unanswered goals in the third period.

Ryan Kesler recorded a tally and an assist while Emerson Etem also scored for the Pacific Division-leading Ducks, who have won four of their last five contests. John Gibson finished with 20 saves as Anaheim outshot Los Angeles 9-7 in the final session.

Trevor Lewis and defenseman Brayden McNabb tallied for the Kings, who have dropped two in a row following an eight-game winning streak. Martin Jones turned aside 28 shots in his first start since Jan. 14 against New Jersey.

Los Angeles opened the scoring with 4:58 remaining in the first period as Lewis carried the puck down the left wing and avoided a check by Anaheim defenseman Francois Beauchemin before cutting across the bottom of the faceoff circle and beating Gibson from the doorstep. McNabb doubled the lead midway through the second, when his shot from the left point deflected off Ducks blue-liner Hampus Lindholm and past Gibson.

Kesler halved the deficit 4:37 into the third, burying a shot from in front after Anaheim used some intense forechecking to force a turnover. The Ducks forged a tie 90 seconds later as Rickard Rakell's pass attempt from along the end line on the right side deflected first off Jones, then Etem on the doorstep before entering the net.
