to open the season. Jesper Bratt scored twice, Sami Vatanen had
one goal, and Cory Schneider made 16 saves.

scored four power-play goals to win for the eighth time in its
past 10 games by beating host Los Angeles.
Elias Pettersson had a goal and three assists, while Bo Horvat

of the season. Vancouver goalie Jacob Markstrom had 21 saves.
Jeff Carter scored two goals and Adrian Kempe added one for the
Kings, who saw their losing streak extend to four games, having

but Binnington proved to be the difference Wednesday.
