PHILADELPHIA - The Los Angeles Kings improved their play after blowing a two-goal lead on the road. Brandon Montour Jersey . A little experience goes a long way. Dwight King scored a tiebreaking goal midway through the third period, leading the Kings to a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night. Jeff Carter and Justin Williams scored in the second for the Kings, who won their third straight and 11th in 14 games while remaining in third place in the Pacific Division. Matt Read and Jakub Voracek had Philadelphias goals. The Flyers had won five in a row, but they dropped to 12-3-1 in their last 16 games while falling to third place in the Metropolitan Division, one point behind the Rangers. Los Angeles had a 2-0 lead entering the final period, but Philadelphia tied it at 2 before Kings winning score with 9:24 remaining. "Weve been a team thats played together for a lot of years and have been through a lot, so were a mentally strong team," Kings centre Mike Richards said. "We can battle back after that." The winning goal started with a Flyers turnover just outside their zone. Slava Voynov raced down the right side, creating a 2-on-1 with King. King took Voynovs perfectly placed cross-ice pass and beat Ray Emery high on the stick side on a forehand from close range. "It settled our game back to where it needed to be and pushed their game down a level," Kings captain Dustin Brown said. Carter opened the scoring 1:49 into the second period with a wrist shot from the left circle. Alec Martinez took the initial shot from the point, and it deflected off the skate of defenceman Mark Streit and right to Carter. It looked as if Vincent Lecavalier had tied it a minute later, but his shot to a wide-open net went off the right post, then the crossbar and finally the left post. The goal light went on and the arena horn blared signalling a goal, but officials never stopped play. The officials no-goal ruling was later upheld by replay. Williams then scored with 2:31 remaining in the period when he finished a backhander after Emery gave up a bad rebound. The Kings also had a goal disallowed in the period when Martinezs apparent tally was waved off because Carter cross-checked Kimmo Timonen in front of Emery just prior to Martinezs shot. Los Angeles dominated the period, outshooting Philadelphia 20-9. Philadelphia pulled within a goal just 29 seconds into the third period when Read was credited for a score when the puck deflected off the skate of defenceman Jake Muzzin. Voracek provided the equalizer with 11:42 remaining in the third period when he deflected home Scott Hartnells shot from the point after the Kings turned it over in their zone. But Kings goal was too much for Philadelphia to overcome. "We played a good road game," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. "We need the points, just like they do. We knew were coming into a tough place and we played good. Were just trying to make the playoffs." So are the Flyers, who are at the Rangers on Wednesday. Coach Craig Berube will be looking for a better effort than he saw in the opening two periods against the Kings. "For the first 40 minutes, we didnt compete hard enough," Berube said. "We let them outwork us. That was the difference in the game." Emery started in place of Steve Mason. It was just the third start and fourth appearance for Emery in the last 18 games. Emery was sidelined for five of those games with a lower body injury suffered Feb. 27 against San Jose. He finished with 38 saves. Jonathan Quick made 30 saves for Los Angeles. Carter and Richards, both former Flyers, were booed every time they touched the puck in the first period. The duo, who helped the Kings win the Stanley Cup in 2012, were traded after the 2011 season. Carter was playing against his former club in Philadelphia for the first time. Williams also is a former Flyer. NOTES: The teams split the regular-season series, with Philadelphia winning 2-0 at Los Angeles on Feb. 1. ... Sutter coached Berube in Calgary. ... Philadelphia RW Steve Downie didnt dress after suffering an upper-body injury in Saturdays 4-1 win over St. Louis. Tye McGinn was recalled from Adirondack of the AHL. ... Kings captain Dustin Brown didnt show any ill effects of a chest injury that forced him to leave Saturdays 4-0 win at Florida. ... Los Angeles improved to 24-1 when leading after the second period. Josh Manson Jersey . Playing in his fourth major league game, Polanco broke a tie in the 13th inning with his first homer, helping Pittsburgh to an 8-6 victory over the Miami Marlins after the Pirates had a ninth-inning meltdown. Max Jones Jersey . Right-hander Todd Redmond took the loss. Jose Bautista hit his second home run of the spring. Here are a handful of tidbits from around camp: Hutchison impressive The Blue Jays are being cautious when talking about their young arms but internally, excitement is building over the way Drew Hutchison is looking and performing this spring. http://www.officialduckshockeyauthentic.com/giovanni-fiore-jersey/ . Toronto announced the deal with the restricted free agent on Saturday. The terms were not disclosed.LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- If the Chicago Bears are going to make a playoff run, it will be without cornerback Charles Tillman and possibly quarterback Jay Cutler. Cutler, who left Sundays 21-19 loss to the Detroit Lions, has a high left ankle sprain and will miss Sundays game against the Baltimore Ravens. He is listed as week to week by the team and Josh McCown will start. "This is a week to week (injury), and it certainly wont be this week," coach Marc Trestman said Monday about Cutlers return. Tillman suffered a torn right triceps muscle in the second half Sunday, and has been placed on injured reserve/designated to return. He can return to practice in six weeks and is eligible to play again in eight weeks. The Bears (5-4) have seven games remaining in the regular season. "The fact that Im no longer a part of that to help this team further succeed, thats the part that hurts," said Tillman, a two-time Pro Bowl player. "My role right now is to be the biggest cheerleader and supporter on the sideline." The Bears defence already was without three starters in linebacker Lance Briggs (shoulder fracture), defensive tackle Henry Melton (ACL tear) and linebacker D.J. Williams (torn pectoral muscle). "It just so happened, the injury bug, it has a hold of our team for some reason," Tillman said. Trestman said Cutlers injury occurred almost three minutes into the second quarter when a defender rolled up his ankle. Cutler continued to play, but left before the games final drive. Trestman said he never thought Cutler reached the point where his play was hindering the team until his final pass, one made on the run that went into the ground in front of wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. "Its very tough to pull your starting quarterback out when hes throwing the ball with velocity, when hes hitting his receivers and hes able to move in the pocket and complete a throwing motion," Trestman said. "All those three indications confirmed with me that I should keep him in there. I know we sacriificed his ability to move around and run (by keeping him in), but that was the case after two minutes and 53 seconds of the second quarter. Antoine Vermette Jersey. So I feel good about what we decided to do with him." After the game, Cutler called the decision to pull him an on-going evaluation throughout the game. "I knew Josh was ready to go and I just didnt want to get to the point where I was hurting us more than I was helping us," Cutler said. Cutler had missed the previous game against Green Bay with a torn groin muscle. He played Sunday following only three weeks away after the team originally said hed miss four weeks or longer. Trestman again repeated Sundays statement that Cutlers groin injury has nothing to do with the ankle injury. "I asked (doctors) if the groin was an issue at all," Trestman said. "They told me even today that if he hadnt rolled up the ankle he would have been able to play today." McCown, who started and played throughout the 27-20 win at Green Bay on Nov. 4, played the final series against the Lions and led the Bears on a touchdown drive. A tying two-point conversion run by Matt Forte failed after McCown threw a TD pass to Brandon Marshall. With McCown taking Cutlers place against the Ravens, Zack Bowman will replace Tillman. He has started 17 NFL games, including 12 in 2009 prior to the signing of free agent cornerback Tim Jennings. "Hes a veteran," Tillman said of Bowman. "Hes been in this defence a while. Hes been a starter on this defence before Tim got here. So I think Zack Bowman is a good fit. Hes the next man up and I have nothing but confidence and faith in Zack." Tillman, like Cutler, is in the final year of his contract and its often been suggested the 33-year-old corner should be converted to free safety as he ages. "I think my athleticism is still there to play corner in this league, whether it be for the Bears or somebody else," Tillman said. "But I still think I have some corner left in me."
