Quinton Byfield recorded four assists to lead the Los Angeles Kings' 5-2 comeback win over the visiting Vegas Golden Knights on Monday.
Down 2-1 at the second intermission, the Kings surged ahead with four unanswered goals. Warren Foegele scored the game-winner 8:31 into the third period, set up by a superb backhand pass from Byfield that found an open Foegele at the side of the Vegas net.
The Kings are on a six-game points streak (5-0-1), and they are 4-0-1 on their six-game homestand. Los Angeles is 19-3-2 at home this season, leading the NHL with an .833 home point percentage.
Trevor Moore scored two goals, Foegele had a goal and an assist and Adrian Kempe had two assists for the Kings. Joel Edmundson and Kevin Fiala scored the other Los Angeles goals, and Adrian Kempe notched two assists.
Darcy Kuemper stopped 20 of 22 shots, including an outstanding sprawling pad save to rob Nicolas Roy late in the first period.
The four points marked a new single-game high for Byfield in his five NHL seasons. Byfield has 10 points (all assists) over his past six games.
The Golden Knights had their three-game winning streak end. Vegas is 1-2-0 against the Kings this season, and 14-1-1 against all other Pacific Division clubs.
Mark Stone and Brayden McNabb scored for Vegas, and Ilya Samsonov made 14 saves.
Los Angeles struck first on Moore's power-play tally 10:30 into the first period. The Golden Knights had just one shot on net in the game's first 15 minutes, but they took control over the next 25 minutes to take the lead.
McNabb rang a wrist shot off the post and into the net for the equalizer at 10:26 into the second period. Stone then put Vegas ahead at the 16:41 mark, tipping a Noah Hanifin point shot past a screened Kuemper.
Moore quickly changed the momentum just 42 seconds into the third period. His second goal of the game came on a wrist shot that deflected in off the crossbar.
After Foegele's go-ahead goal, Los Angeles poured on the pressure. Edmundson's point shot found the net 15:28 into the third period, and Fiala added another insurance tally at 17:41.
