Pierre-Luc Dubois snapped a 13-game goal-scoring drought and Quinton Byfield scored twice to lead the host Los Angeles Kings to a 5-3 victory over the Calgary Flames on Saturday.

Alex Laferriere and Trevor Moore also scored for the Kings, who snapped a two-game skid on their home ice. Goaltender Cam Talbot made 29 saves while Drew Doughty and Anze Kopitar both collected two assists.

Blake Coleman scored twice and Rasmus Andersson added one goal for the Flames, who saw their season-best three-game winning streak snapped. Goalie Jacob Markstrom stopped 29 shots.

Byfield, taken second overall in the 2020 draft, continued his breakout season when he opened the scoring 61 seconds into the clash. Off a face-off play, Byfield fired a long shot, the first of the game, that just squeezed through Markstrom and over the line.

Andersson replied at the 2:47 mark with his fifth of the season, a point shot that ricocheted off the leg of Kings defender Matt Roy and found the short side of the net with Calgary's first offering on goal.

Dubois restored the Los Angeles lead with his sixth goal, a deflection tally at 15:20 of the first period. It came right after a Flames penalty expired.

Coleman pulled Calgary even again 4:01 into the second period by converting on a two-on-one pass from Yegor Sharangovich for his fourth short-handed marker of the season. Calgary leads the league with nine short-handed goals.

Laferriere gave the hosts a third lead at 6:28 of the middle frame when a bounding shot bounced off his skate and into the net for his fifth of the season.

Moore then notched his 16th of the season at the midway point by snapping a top-corner shot from his off-wing to make it 4-2.

Coleman notched his second of the night, and 12th of the season, when he found a rebound for the power-play goal at 7:18 of the third period to again make it a one-goal game.

However, Byfield notched an empty netter with 60 seconds remaining, his 10th goal of the season, to round out the scoring.
