LOS ANGELES (AP) — Adrian Kempe broke a tie on a power play midway through the third period and the Los Angeles Kings beat Dallas 3-2 on Tuesday night to snap the Stars' four-game winning streak.

Heiskanen got the Stars on the board at 6:31 on a long shot from the blue line through traffic.
Kopitar put the home team back up 2-1 at 8:13, redirecting in Drew Doughty’s shot from distance for his 11th goal of the season.
Robertson made it 2-all 56 seconds later, burying his wrist shot from the slot off Joe Pavelski’s crisp centering pass.
The Kings led after the first period on Kupari’s third goal. He beat Oettinger on a wrist shot from the right circle 7:28 into the game, set up by Kevin Fiala’s 28th assist.
