Trevor Moore scores twice as Kings snap skid by beating Hurricanes 5 2

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Trevor Moore scored two goals and the Los Angeles Kings snapped an eight game winless streak by beating the Carolina Hurricanes 5 2 on Monday. Phillip Danault, Alex Laferriere and Pierre Luc Dubois also scored in a four goal third period for Los Angeles, which had gone 0 4 4 since beating San Jose on Dec.

27. David Rittich made 30 saves for the Kings in their fifth stop of a six game trip. Vladislav Gavrikov, Mikey Anderson, Matt Roy and Danault each had two assists. Jordan Martinook and Jack Drury scored for Carolina, which had secured a point in its previous eight games. Antti Raanta stopped 20 shots before Yaniv Perets was inserted with 14:40 left in the game for his NHL debut.

Perets was called upon for just one save. The score was tied at 1 all before the Kings unloaded early in the third. Danault’s ninth goal of the season gave the Kings a 2 1 lead 61 seconds into the period. Laferriere’s goal came at 2:21. Then came Dubois' second goal in as many games and ninth of the season at 5:20.

Moore opened the scoring at 6:24 of the first period and his team leading 20th came with 1:16 to play into an empty net. Martinook has scored in three straight games for this first time in his 10 year career that covers 602 games. His tally at 5:38 of the second period tied the game and was his fifth goal this season.

The Hurricanes honored retired forward Justin Williams with a pregame induction into the team’s Hall of Fame. He was part of three Stanley Cup winning teams, including two with the Kings.
