GLENDALE, Ariz (AP) ―
Drew Doughty scored the go-ahead goal with 4:51 remaining and the Los Angels Kings rallied to beat the Phoenix Coyotes 5-3 Monday night.
Ryan Smyth scored twice, Anze Kopitar had a goal and two assists, and Justin Williams also scored for the Kings, who won for the first time in five games this season when trailing after two periods. Los Angeles snapped a two-game losing streak.
Shane Doan, Martin Hanzal and Scottie Upshall scored for the Coyotes, who saw their three-game winning streak snapped but received better news off the ice.
Earlier Monday, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Redfield T. Baum approved the CoyotesÂ’ sale to the NHL with the league intending to find a buyer committed to keeping the franchise in Glendale.
