Mike Richards scored in his return to the lineup as the Los Angeles Kings topped the Anaheim Ducks in a shootout 3-2.
After missing eight games, Richards did something pretty foreign to the Kings this season. Dustin Brown also scored for the third time in four nights to give him eight goals on the season. Drew Doughty notched two helpers and was a plus-two as he seems to be coming alive lately with four points over his last four games. The win also gave Darryl Sutter his first since coaching Calgary in the 2005-06 season. He will certainly like to see a little more of the same from his key guys in order to improve upon their 15-4-4 record and lift them from the basement of the league's scoring ranks.
