GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Jarret Stoll scored his first two goals of the season and Dustin Brown also scored twice in the Los Angeles Kings' 5-3 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night.
Wayne Simmonds added a goal and Anze Kopitar had three assists to help the Kings win their third straight game.
Shane Doan had two goals, and Radim Vrbata also scored for Phoenix. The Kings snapped the Coyotes' four-game winning streak.
Stoll broke a 2-2 tie when he took a pass from Scott Parse in the low left slot, faked Ilya Bryzgalov to the ice with a backhand move and pulled the puck across for a forehand shot into the open right side of the net. Parse had taken the puck from Coyotes defenceman Keith Yandle just outside the Phoenix zone.
After Simmonds extended the lead to 4-2 with 10:48 remaining, Ed Jovanovski split the Kings' defence with a pass to Doan, who backhanded the puck past Quick to make it 4-3 with 7:30 left.
Brown added an empty-net goal a split-second ahead of the final horn.
Doan opened the scoring off a rebound at 9:52 of the first period. Brown tied it at 4:41 of the second off a cross-ice pass from Kopitar.
Stoll made it 2-1 at 14:24 of the second on a blast from the top of the left circle with four seconds remaining in Los Angeles' second two-man advantage of the period. Vrbata tied it 2-2 just 78 seconds later when he forced a shot through Jonathan Quick's glove.
NOTES: Kopitar, who has four goals and five assists in his last five games, leads the league with 19 points. ... Brown has three goals and four assists in his last five. ... The five goals allowed by the Coyotes were a season high. ... The game was played in front of an announced crowd of 7,968, the second-smallest in four games in Glendale. ... The Kings were without RW Justin Williams (lower-body injury).
Further proof of the pathetic attendance

We've gotten more (or almost as many) people to Moose games without bribing them with a free ticket!
