PHILADELPHIA – Anze Kopitar and Kevin Fiala each scored two goals and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Philadelphia Flyers 7-3 on Thursday night.

Kopitar scored the equalizer in the final minute of the second period and then redirected a pass from Alex Turcotte for the game-winning goal in the third period. Darcy Kuemper made 23 saves.

Kopitar has now scored at least one point in 19 of his last 24 games, but it was his first multi-goal game since his hat trick on the opening night of the season.

Warren Foegele redirected Jordan Spence’s shot past Philadelphia goalkeeper Aleksei Kolosov for the winning goal 1:54 minutes into the third period.

Fiala scored the first and last goals of the game, while Tanner Jeannot and Quinton Byfield also scored for the Kings, who won for the eighth time in their last 11 games.

Tyson Foerster scored two goals and Noah Cates one for Philadelphia, which lost for the third straight season. Kolosov finished with 20 saves.

Takeaways

Kings: Los Angeles had the fewest shots in the NHL this season, conceding 26 against Philadelphia. The Kings extended their streak of allowing three or fewer goals to ten games.

Flyers: Coach John Tortorella waived defenseman Cam York for Thursday’s game. Tortorella said before the game that York has been “stuck in neutral” since returning from a shoulder injury.

Key moment

Kolosov was unable to cover a loose puck in the final minute of the second period, allowing Kopitar to score an easy goal. It changed the dynamic of the game.

Key statistics
