Antoine Vermette recorded his team-leading 19th goal and added an assist while Mikkel Boedker set up a pair of tallies for the Coyotes, who beat the Kings for the fourth straight time at home. Phoenix captain Shane Doan notched his 500th career assist on Ekman-Larsson's second goal.

The 22-year-old, who will represent his native Sweden in the Olympics, made it 2-0 with another slap shot during a power play 3:16 into the second session.

Vermette, who had a hat trick Sunday, was in the right place to knock home a rebound after Quick was run over by his own teammate 8:47 into the third period. Greiss, who also blanked Calgary 6-0 on Jan. 7, improved to 7-3-1 and recorded his third career shutout after making nine saves in the third.
