DENVER, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- Scott Thornton scored the game-winner in a three-goal third period Saturday to give the Los Angeles Kings a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.

Colorado held a 1-0 lead when the period started, courtesy of Jordan Leopold's second goal of the season at 12:35 of the first.

Derek Armstrong's third goal of the campaign at 10:13 of the third tied the contest 1-1.

Thornton scored 77 second later to put Los Angeles in front for good, while Anze Kopitar's 16th goal went into an empty net with less than a minute left.
