After a scoreless first period, Carter got Los Angeles on the board at 1:49 of the second and Williams poked in a rebound on the doorstep with 2:32 left in the session for a 2-0 advantage. Philadelphia battled back in the third as defenseman Braydon Coburn's shot from the right point deflected off Read and past Quick 29 seconds into the period and Voracek tipped in Scott Hartnell's shot from the blue line at 8:18.

The Kings wasted little time regaining the lead as they took advantage of pinching Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen 2:18 later. Blue-liner Slava Voynov carried the puck down the right wing on a 2-on-1 rush and dished it to King, who beat Emery from the slot.
