Kings 4, Coyotes 2: Defenseman Alec Martinez scored a power-play goal early in the third period to snap a tie as Los Angeles began its four-game homestand with its second straight win.

Marian Gaborik recorded his sixth goal in four games and added an assist, Jeff Carter tallied for the second straight contest and Trevor Lewis also scored for the Kings, who improved to 13-4-1 at Staples Center. Anze Kopitar followed up his five-point performance on Thursday with three assists, defenseman Jamie McBain notched a pair and Jonathan Quick finished with 15 saves.

Martin Hanzal and Kyle Chipchura scored in the second period for the Coyotes, who have dropped six of seven (1-5-1). Devan Dubnyk turned aside 31 shots in falling to 6-3-2 on the season.

Martinez's blast from the left faceoff circle beat Dubnyk over the glove at 1:34 of the third, just 10 seconds after Hanzal was whistled for closing his hand on the puck. Gaborik was drilled on a shoulder-to-shoulder hit by Arizona defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson, but play continued and Tyler Toffoli set up Lewis for a tap-in with 3:38 remaining to give Los Angeles a 4-2 lead.

Carter scored from the right circle with 2:38 remaining in the first period to put the Kings ahead, but Hanzal deflected the puck past Quick 44 seconds into the middle session and Chipchura's attempted centering feed caromed off Los Angeles defenseman Brayden McNabb's stick and into the net at 5:42 to give the Coyotes a 2-1 lead. Gaborik deposited Kopitar's nifty backhanded pass past Dubnyk during a power play with 2:20 left in the session to knot the contest.
