03/07/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brian Gionta and Benoit Pouliot each had a goal and an assist in Montreal's 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings.
Tomas Plekanec and Dominic Moore also scored for the Canadiens, who bounced back from a 3-2 loss at San Jose on Thursday. Scott Gomez had a pair of assists, while Jaroslav Halak stopped 23 shots as the Canadiens topped the Kings for the fifth straight time.
Montreal has 68 points and moved into sole possession of eighth place in the Eastern Conference, two points ahead of Atlanta and the New York Rangers.
Anze Kopitar and Fredrik Modin had the goals for Los Angeles, which has lost back-to-back contests. Jonathan Quick made 21 saves in defeat, just the Kings' third in regulation in the last 15 games.
Moore's shot from above the left circle beat Kopitar high to the glove side for a 2-1 lead 4:43 into the middle period, and it became a two-goal lead 36 seconds into the third when Pouliot lifted the disc from in front over the fallen Los Angeles netminder.
Modin scored 7:12 into the period on a backhander between Halak's pads, but Plekanec solidified the win with an empty-net tally with 71 seconds left.
Gionta scored just 22 seconds into the game on a wrist shot, but Kopitar evened the contest with a backhand tally at 18:16 of the same period.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
