ANAHEIM, Calif., Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Power-play goals in the third period by Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar Wednesday lifted Los Angeles to a 4-3 victory over Anaheim.

The Kings halted a three-game losing streak, holding on during the game's final moments after Chris Kunitz brought the Ducks within a goal with 3:40 to play.

Los Angeles took a 2-1 lead into the third period, but Ryan Getzlaf tied it just 1:29 into the period.

Two penalties on Anaheim's Rob Niedermayer then cost the Ducks the lead and, eventually, the game.

Niedermayer went off for slashing at 9:23 of the third period and Brown needed just 12 seconds to take advantage. Brown gave the Kings the lead by firing a slap shot past Jonas Hiller.

Niedermayer was then called for roughing with 6:12 to play in the game and Kopitar responded to give the Kings a two-goal lead.

Jonathan Quick allowed three goals on 31 shots to get the win.
