Kempe put Los Angeles ahead for good when he scored off a pass from Jonny Brodzinski at 8:08 of the second.“The last couple of games, it’s been tight and we haven’t really got a bounce this way. Just kept battling through it and tonight we got a lot of those as a team,” Kempe said. “That’s kind of what we needed to get going here and it was a perfect game. Everybody has to step up the way they did tonight and hopefully we can keep it going.”Leipsic made it 5-3 on a one-timer from Kovalchuk 4:54 into the third Jean-Gabriel Pageau Jersey , and Brown got his second goal at 18:07 while playing in his 1,100th career game.It was the 276th career goal for Brown, passing Butch Goring for sixth-most in Kings history.Perlini had cut the deficit to 3-2 at 2:06 of the second, with Crawford’s stretch pass setting up his breakaway and sixth goal of the season.

Right away we’re chasing.”Perlini scored at 18:46 for his first goal since Jan. 1.The Kings were able to keep the Blackhawks’ red-hot top line featuring Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews from marking their mark. Kane had a minus-three rating and did not have a point for just the third time in his past 31 games, and Toews was a minus-two.“You’re not going to keep them quiet all night, but you want to do your best to contain them,” Leipsic said. “They are going to get their chances Mark Stone Jersey , so just keep them to a minimum and keep them to the outside and when you do have time to pressure them pressure them. We did a good job on them.”Brandon Saad played with Toews and Kane after after Drake Caggiula sustained a concussion against Anaheim on Wednesday, and Caggiula’s absence allowed Perlini back into the lineup after being scratched for the previous four games.NOTES: Quick had a secondary assist on Brown’s first goal, marking the sixth time since 1993-94 that both goalies had an assist in the same game. … Kings C Jeff Carter had two assists. … Kings F Austin Wagner did not play in the third period after sustaining a lower-body injury on a hit by Gustav Forsling.UP NEXTBlackhawks: Visit San Jose on Sunday night.Kings: Host Montreal on Tuesday night. NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The New Jersey Devils‘ highest-scoring game of the season came on a night the Chicago Blackhawks may have played one of their worst games.Kyle Palmieri and Blake Coleman each scored twice, and the Devils rode a five-goal second period to an 8-5 victory over the struggling Blackhawks on Monday night.“There (were) things in our game plan that we didn’t execute and weren’t detailed enough on,” said Palmieri, who had the first two goals in the big second period. “You’re not going to score eight goals every night. There’s definitely some stuff to tighten up but it was a win. It was good we found a way to win.”Travis Zajac, Sami Vatanen, Kevin Rooney and Brett Seney also scored as the Devils won consecutive games for only the third time since opening the season with four straight wins. Rookie goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood made 27 saves in winning for the fifth time in seven decisions.Despite the win, the Devils are 11 points out of a playoff spot.“Sometimes we will play really well and win Youth Matt Duchene Jersey ,” Devils forward Brian Boyle said. “Sometimes it will come ugly. It’s going to come different ways, but we have to stay with it because we’ve dug ourselves a pretty big hole.”Patrick Kane scored twice and set up two others for the Blackhawks, who are 1-3-3 in their last seven. Brent Seabrook, Dominik Kahun and Brandon Saad also scored for Chicago, which left goaltenders Cam Ward and Collin Delia defenseless most of the game in giving up at least seven goals for the fifth time this season. The eight goals against tied the most given up by the Blackhawks this season.Chicago coach Jeremy Colliton wants his team to forget the game but realize it can’t happen again.“That wasn’t us,” he said. “Those were valuable points and a winnable game and we just didn’t have near our best effort. So learn not to do that again.”After Kane tied the game 1-all with a power-play goal at 3:07 of the second period, Palmieri and the Devils took over.Palmieri beat Ward on a breakaway to put the Devils ahead a little more than two minutes after the Kane goal. He stretched the lead to two goals 3:11 later with a shot Ward didn’t seem to see. The goal originally was credited to Boyle but later was awarded to Palmieri for his 22nd of the season.Zajac tapped in a rebound, Vatanen tallied on a power play and Rooney scored on a rebound for his first NHL goal to stretch the lead to 6-1.Kane closed the gap with his second goal and set up Seabrook’s 100th career goal in the final 1:41 of the second period, but the Blackhawks never threatened until Saad scored late to make it 7-5.Chicago pulled Delia, but Coleman Mike Condon Jersey , who had scored the Devils’ first goal on a breakaway, tallied into an empty net.“We got to learn from that. We did lots of good things but we played somewhat an immature game at times,” Devils coach John Hynes said. “We get up 6-1 and we just go to sleep at the end of the second and you can’t do that. It’s excellent that we found a way to win the game.”Veteran Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith said games like this sometimes happen.“I know when we were competing hard and playing as a team, we can play with other teams, every team in the league, be competitive and have a chance to win,” said Keith, who was minus-5 in the game. “I don’t think tonight we really did that, to give ourselves a chance.”NOTES: The Devils placed F Stefan Noesen (lower body) on injured reserve and recalled D Egor Yakovlev from Binghamton earlier in the day. … Chicago will play host to New Jersey on Feb. 14. … Kane has 14 goals and 22 assists on the road this season. … Chicago’s Alex DeBrincat had a four-game goal-scoring streak snapped and defenseman Erik Gustafsson had a career-best eight-game assist streak ended.UP NEXTBlackhawks: At the New York Rangers on Thursday.Devils: At the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
