posted by Kevin Mio at 10h43 EST on Mar 8
Rob Blake got one back for the Kings on the power play before the second period was over.
The Habs should have thanked Halak during the intermission as he was pelted with 17 shots in the second period.
Andrei Kostistyn make it 4-1 for the Canadiens 3:49 into the third period before Anze Kopitar narrowed Montreal lead to 4-2.
Tom Kostopoulos, playing against his former team for the first time, scored into an empty net to seal the 5-2 victory.
Kings goalie Erik Ersberg, who shut out the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night, faced only 22 Canadiens' shots, but gave up four goals. The Kings outshot the Canadiens 37-23
The Canadiens were 1-for-2 with the man advantage while limiting the Kings to one goal in five power-play opportunities.
Montreal now moves to Anaheim where they face the Ducks on Sunday night.
