The tally capped Perry's third two-goal performance of theseason, two of which have come against the Kings, and the fifthof his career.


Getzlaf put the Ducks ahead for good at 2:08 of the third as hewas the last to touch the puck before it bounced between Aubin'slegs and into the net.

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- The Anaheim Ducks are turning the newlynamed "Freeway Face-Off" into a one-way street.


Corey Perry scored a pair of goals and set up another and ChrisKunitz collected three assists as the Ducks rolled to a 6-3victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday.


Ryan Getzlaf and Rob Niedermayer each had a tally and an assistfor the defending Stanley Cup champions, who swept thehome-and-home series with the Kings and improved to 3-1-0 vs.their Southern California rivals this season.


"They came back against us the other night and sent it intoovertime," Perry said. "We knew we had to come out in the thirdand play a solid 20 minutes. They scored five in the thirdagainst Dallas (on Saturday) and two against us a couple ofnights ago. We knew what they could do in the third."

Anaheim also raised its record against Los Angeles to 12-4-4since the start of the 2005-06 campaign.


"Every game with them is a battle out there," Getzlaf said."It's a tough and fun game to play, and those are the ones youwant to play all the time."


"It's a division foe and a big rival," Ducks coach Randy Carlyleadded. "It's always nice to win."


After Dustin Brown scored on a turnaround shot from the bottomof the left faceoff circle 12 minutes into the second period togive Los Angeles a 2-1 lead, Anaheim took over, netting fourstraight goals.


Perry began the outburst with his second of the game with 3:36left in the middle session. After serving a boardinginfraction, the former first-round pick exited the penalty box,received a pass from Kunitz at the Kings' blue line and skatedin alone on Jean-Sebastien Aubin before slipping the puckbetween the goaltender's pads to forge a 2-2 tie.


"I jumped out of the box and Kunitz had the puck and I wasyelling for it," Perry said. "He laid it up there so it didn'tbounce, and I just went in and went five-hole."


The tally capped Perry's third two-goal performance of theseason, two of which have come against the Kings, and the fifthof his career.


Getzlaf put the Ducks ahead for good at 2:08 of the third as hewas the last to touch the puck before it bounced between Aubin'slegs and into the net.


"They dominated most of the first half of the game," Getzlafsaid. "We came out and started playing and built around eachother. We were able to rally around each other and make somebig goals for our team. Everyone contributed, that was thebiggest thing."


Playing in his 900th career game, rugged forward Brad May madeit 3-1 with his second tally of the season, grabbing a reboundin front and backhanding it past Aubin at 8:31.


"It was nice to be a part of (the offense)," the 35-year-old Maysaid. "Our team has to get contributions from everyone moreoften. We played a terrible first period and were able torespond and find ourselves. I'm sure LA is not happy with theway things went, but for us, I think we figured something out."

Samuel Pahlsson, who was a finalist for the Selke Trophy lastcampaign, buried a loose puck from the bottom of the rightcircle midway through the session. After Patrick O'Sullivandrew the Kings within 6-3 at 16:41, Niedermayer scored anempty-netter in the final minute to seal the victory.

"It was a show of character on the team's part," Carlyle said."We got contributions from different guys."


"The third period was definitely the difference," Kings coachMarc Crawford said. "When the game was on the line, you have tobe at your best, and they were. You have to give them credit."

Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 26 saves for Anaheim, which has wonthree in a row overall and two straight on the road, improvingto 2-5-1 away from home this season.


"It's definitely something building," Perry said. "When youstart a streak and guys get more confidence and things startgoing your way. That's what we have to keep working on, andworking on our game and winning on the road."


Anze Kopitar netted a power-play goal, Michael Cammallerinotched a pair of assists and Aubin turned aside 26 shots forthe Kings, who have dropped four of their last six games.

"We have a good team in here that can compete against the topteams in the league," Brown said. "It's just a matter of beingconsistent, not only from game to game, but from the firstminute to the last minute of the game. Tonight, we weren'tconsistent enough to sustain the pressure from them."

Kopitar started the scoring with 6:52 remaining in the firstperiod, receiving a pass from Cammalleri at the blue line,skating through the left circle and firing the puck betweenGiguere's pads for his eighth goal of the campaign.

"We were fortunate to get out of the first only down one goal,"Carlyle said.
