LOS ANGELES --- Mark Scheifele scored the lone goal in a shootout, allowing the Winnipeg Jets to rally from a three-goal deficit for a stunning 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles on Saturday before a sellout crowd of 18,449 at Staples Center.

The loss prevented the Kings (48-28-6) from clinching the Pacific title and their first division crown since winning the Smythe in 1990-91. They need a loss by Anaheim in Washington on Sunday to claim the Pacific.

Blake Wheeler's goal -- his 26th of the season -- at 3:21 of the third knotted the score 3-3 and wiped a commanding advantage by the Kings.

Goaltender Ondrej Pavelec recorded 26 saves for the Jets (35-39-8), who haven't beaten the Kings in regulation since Dec. 8, 1999, when they were the Atlanta Thrashers and earned a 4-0 victory. Jonathan Quick stopped 28 shots for the Kings.

The Kings avoided falling in overtime, when Ben Chiarot had a point-blank attempt stuffed by Quick just before the horn.

Tyler Toffoli put the Kings up 1-0 at 9:18 of the first period. Toffoli fielded a pass near the front of the net from Jeff Carter and punched the puck by Pavelec for his club-leading 31st goal of the season. For Carter, the assist tied his career best of 38.

Tanner Pearson made it 2-0, converting a cross-ice pass from Milan Lucic and rushed past Pavelec at 13:29 of the first. It was Pearson's 15th goal.

In the second period, Andy Andreoff scored unassisted on a wraparound for a 3-0 Kings' lead at 6:05. It was his eighth goal.

However, the Jets scored a pair of goals late in the second to cut the deficit to one. Nic Petan dropped a pass to Andrew Copp, who smoked a shot past Quick with 2:54 remaining for his seventh goal and Nikolaj Ehlers followed with his 15th with 41 seconds left.

Wheeler, who assisted on Ehlers' goal, extended his career-long point streak to 11 games.
