Couturier's second goal gave Philadelphia a 3-0 lead at 12:04 of the second period. He made it 2-0 with a backhand past Zatkoff's outstretched left leg at 4:43 of the period. The Kings were caught in a line change, and Couturier was left unchecked in the middle to get to the loose puck.
Gordon snapped the puck high past Zatkoff's glove side at 3:55 of the second to open the scoring. The Kings were changing, and Gordon was free to take a pass from Nick Cousins.
Streit swatted the puck at the goal line on the left side of the Kings net and it glanced in off Zatkoff's head with 1:57 left in the period for a 4-0 lead.
Doughty scored 49 seconds later to get the Kings on the board, and McNabb followed at 3:01 of the third with a point shot that went in off Streit's skate.
The Kings held a pregame ceremony to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Several players from their first season in 1967-68 attended, as did all six players whose numbers have been retired by Los Angeles (Wayne Gretzky, Luc Robitaille, Rob Blake, Marcel Dionne, Dave Taylor and Rogie Vachon).
