Shortly thereafter, Johan Franzen made a backhand pass from the right corner to Helm, who knocked the puck past All-Star Jonathan Quick from the doorstep for his fourth goal in nine contests.

Carter opened the scoring 7 1/2 minutes into the game with his third goal in seven games with the Kings. During a power play, Carter poked a loose puck past MacDonald after Anze Kopitar had hit the crossbar.

Zetterberg evened the contest with a one-timer off a cross-slot pass from Filppula with 5:20 remaining in the first period. Justin Williams put Los Angeles back in front three minutes later, but Zetterberg capped his first two-goal performance of the season late in the second to forge a 2-2 tie.
