RALEIGH, N.C. — The Kings’ winless stretch came to an end thanks to an explosive third period.
Trevor Moore scored two goals and the Kings snapped an eight-game winless streak by beating the Carolina Hurricanes, 5-2, on Monday.
Phillip Danault, Alex Laferriere and Pierre-Luc Dubois also scored in a four-goal third period for the Kings, who had gone 0-4-4 since beating San Jose on Dec. 27.
David Rittich made 30 saves for the Kings in the fifth stop of their six-game trip. Vladislav Gavrikov, Mikey Anderson, Matt Roy and Danault each had two assists.
Jordan Martinook and Jack Drury scored for Carolina, which had secured at least a point in each of its previous eight games. Antti Raanta stopped 20 shots before Yaniv Perets was inserted with 14:40 left in the game for his NHL debut. Perets was called upon for just one save.
The score was tied at 1-all before the Kings unloaded early in the third.
Danault’s ninth goal of the season gave the Kings a 2-1 lead 61 seconds into the period. Laferriere’s goal came at 2:21.
Then came Dubois’ second goal in as many games and ninth of the season at 5:20.
Moore opened the scoring at 6:24 of the first period and his team-leading 20th came with 1:16 to play into an empty net.
Martinook has scored in three straight games for the first time in a 10-year career that covers 602 games. His tally at 5:38 of the second period tied the score and was his fifth goal this season.
The Hurricanes honored retired forward Justin Williams with a pregame induction into the team’s Hall of Fame. He was part of three Stanley Cup-winning teams, including two with the Kings.
