NEW DELHI: Pierre-Luc Dubois ended a 13-game goal-scoring drought, and Quinton Byfield scored twice to lead the Los Angeles Kings to a 5-3 victory over the Calgary Flames. Byfield opened the scoring just 61 seconds into the game with a long shot that narrowly crossed the line. Rasmus Andersson replied for the Flames, but Dubois restored the Kings' lead with a deflection goal. Blake Coleman tied the game again with a short-handed marker for the Flames.

In the second period, Alex Laferriere and Trevor Moore scored for the Kings, giving them a 4-2 lead. Coleman pulled the Flames within one with a power-play goal in the third period, but Byfield sealed the Kings' victory with an empty-net goal in the final minute.

The win ended the Kings' two-game losing streak on home ice. Goaltender Cam Talbot made 29 saves for Los Angeles. Besides Byfield's two goals, Drew Doughty and Anze Kopitar both collected two assists.

Calgary's Blake Coleman scored twice, bringing his season total to 12 goals, and Rasmus Andersson added a single. Goalie Jacob Markstrom stopped 29 shots for the Flames, who saw their three-game winning streak come to an end.
