Trailing 4-3 in the third period, Los Angeles tied the game on a wrist shot by Scott Thornton from the slot at the 10:22 mark. Then, three minutes, 26 seconds later, Conroy received a pass from Jeff Cowan from the left side and pushed the disk through the pads of Jose Theodore for the go-ahead goal.

Michael Cammalleri netted twice and Tom Kostopoulos had a goal and an assist for the Kings, who have won two of their last three games. Derek Armstrong finished with two helpers in the victory.
