LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Rookie Beckett Sennecke<\/a> had two assists and then scored in the shootout, sending the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Mason McTavish<\/a> ended it with a third-round shootout goal for the Ducks, who rallied from an early two-goal deficit for their second straight victory after a nine-game skid.<\/p>\n

Tim Washe<\/a> scored his first NHL goal and Ryan Strome<\/a> got his first goal in a month for the Ducks when Southern California\u2019s two NHL teams opened a back-to-back, home-and-home chapter of the Freeway Faceoff rivalry by going to their second shootout of the season. Lukas Dostal<\/a> made 26 saves.<\/p>\n

Joel Armia<\/a> had a goal and an assist in his return from a five-game injury absence for the Kings, who have lost five of six.<\/p>\n

Darcy Kuemper<\/a> stopped 26 shots, but the Canadian Olympian couldn\u2019t stop the famously deliberate shootout style of McTavish, one of the NHL\u2019s most successful shootout scorers.<\/p>\n

Quinton Byfield<\/a> put the Kings ahead on their first shot on goal 98 seconds after the opening faceoff, beating Dostal for his ninth goal off a rush set up by Armia.<\/p>\n

Neither team mounted a consistent offensive attack for two periods, but Armia made it 2-0 for the Kings midway through the second with a one-timer off a backhand pass from Andre Lee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Strome answered 39 seconds later, putting a shot past a screen from Sennecke for his second goal in 22 games.<\/p>\n

Less than three minutes after that, Washe alertly located a rebound off the boards and beat Kuemper from a sharp angle for his inaugural goal in his sixth NHL game. The 24-year-old undrafted forward won an NCAA title last spring with Western Michigan.<\/p>\n

The Ducks played without their top two scorers due to injury. Leo Carlsson<\/a> had treatment earlier in the day on a thigh injury that could endanger his participation in the Olympics, while Troy Terry<\/a> (upper body) went on injured reserve before missing his fourth straight game.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

A rematch in Anaheim on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
