Dustin Brown's short-handed goal helped the Los Angeles Kings move back into third place in the Pacific Division with a 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Monday night.
Torrey Mitchell and Kyle Clifford also scored for the Kings, who are one point ahead of Anaheim. Jonathan Quick made 27 saves and the Kings won their third consecutive home game.
The Kings took a 1-0 lead at 9:29 of the first period thanks to an opportunistic goal by Mitchell. Bernier was caught by surprise when Nate Thompson's shot hit the boards and bounced into the crease, jumping into the air to avoid sending it back into his own net.
