Dwight King scored his second goal of the game into an empty net as the Los Angeles Kings dominated from the start to open the Western Conference Finals with a 4-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes to remain unbeaten on the road in the playoffs.

Dustin Brown had a goal and an assist, King had his first career two-goal game, and Los Angeles outshot Phoenix 48-27 to win their sixth straight road playoff victory, one short of the NHL record for a single postseason.
