LAS VEGAS (AP) — Anze Kopitar scored twice, rookie Calvin Petersen made 42 saves and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-1.
The Kings improved to 6-2-1 in their last nine games.
The winning stretch came on the heels of a 1-9-1 skid that spanned from Jan. 11 to Feb. 9. Los Angeles, which is in last place in the Pacific Division, snapped Vegas' franchise record-tying eight-game win streak.
The Golden Knights hadn't lost since a 4-0 defeat in Minnesota on Feb. 11.
