LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Kings have plenty of power-play goals this season, and several others in the first few seconds after a penalty expired.They struck in that situation again Wednesday night, when Dwight King scored late in the third period just 1 second after a power play ended. He added another goal 25 seconds later, Peter Budaj stopped 22 shots and the Kings defeated the New York Islanders 4-2 for their fourth consecutive win.We dont have to get a lot of power-play goals, Anze Kopitar said. Obviously it helps and we would like to, but if we build good momentum off it, that helps, too. I think it was three or four, maybe even five times this year where we didnt get the credit for the power-play goal but we scored within 5 seconds of the guy coming out of the box.Jake Muzzin and Alec Martinez also scored to help the Kings win their fifth straight at home.Anders Lee scored twice and Jaroslav Halak made 24 saves for the Islanders, who dropped to 1-5-1 on the road this season.King deflected in Derek Forborts long shot for the go-ahead goal with 2:53 remaining, showing off the all-around game that has sparked the streaky Kings.Forbort is supposed to get it through to the net, somebody is supposed to get in front of the net, Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter said. Tic-tac-toe, you put your arms in the air.Even Islanders coach Jack Capuano credited the Kings with a score on special teams, saying the late breakdown was representative of how poorly New Yorks penalty kill has performed this season.Its frustrating because its probably one of the best games we have played coming into this building and cant get any results, Capuano said. Just got to try to find a way to kill one at the end.King scored again when he and Trevor Lewis caught the Islanders on a break, and Muzzin added an empty-netter.Los Angeles now has winning streaks of four, three and four games sandwiched around losing streaks of three, three and four games. In the middle of a stretch that sees them play eight of 10 games at Staples Center, the Kings appear ready capitalize on their current form.We want to stop streaking in the wrong direction, but were on the right path now, said Kopitar, who had an assist in his return after missing five games with a hand/wrist injury. Just playing our style of hockey, that really helps.Lee tied it 4:27 into the third period. He was somehow able to collect and backhand in the rebound of Travis Hamonics missed shot while tangled up with Kings defenseman Matt Greene.Lee added his third goal of the season with 1:52 left to make it 4-2, but the Islanders failed in their attempt to string together consecutive wins away from Barclays Center for the first time this season.Martinez put the Kings ahead 15:34 into the first period with his fourth goal of the season, taking advantage of Lewis screen in front to beat Halak with a shot from the blue line.Kings defensemen have six goals during their winning streak, including Martinez scoring the opener against New Jersey last Saturday.The Islanders could not carry over the momentum from their first road win Tuesday at Anaheim, despite two power-play opportunities in the first 11 minutes. New York had just one shot with the man advantage and seven total in the opening period, half the number needed to decide their 14-round shootout against the Ducks the previous night.Game notes The Islanders scratched G Thomas Greiss, RW Cal Clutterbuck and D Scott Mayfield. Clutterbuck, who sustained an upper-body injury against the Ducks, went through pregame warmups before being held out. ... The Kings scratched LW Teddy Purcell and D Tom Gilbert.UP NEXTIslanders: Friday at San Jose.Kings: Saturday night at home against Chicago.

AUBURN, Ala. -- Despite the elation Auburn felt after toppling LSU a week ago, there were still some potentially dangerous problems lurking under the surface.Auburn (3-2) had failed to score a touchdown in any of its six trips to the red zone, and head coach Gus Malzhan yearned to give his receivers more vertical routes to try and take the top off the defense.Against Louisiana-Monroe (1-3), both of those boxes were checked off. Auburn dominated the Warhawks Saturday 58-7 to notch its third win of the year and end the season-opening five-game homestand on a high note.Sean White threw for 239 yards and a pair of touchdowns, both of which were 48-yard deep balls on play-action routes. The first went to freshman Kyle Davis, and the second to senior Tony Stevens for his fifth-career scoring catch.We talked about that two weeks ago, that we need to give our guys more chances down the field, Malzahn said. Thats been kind of an emphasis, and we did that today. Hit a couple, one I think was a pass interference, came close on another. But you gotta take chances down the field, its good. I think we had two of our freshmen catch touchdowns, all on deep balls.Kerryon Johnson spearheaded Auburns rushing attack, accounting for 146 of the Tigers 410 yards on the ground. Auburn outgained Louisiana-Monroe in total yards 688-251, the fourth-most in school history.White ended the day going 14 of 17 for 239 yards before giving way to backup John Franklin III midway through the third quarter and Auburn leading 42-7. Franklin scored his first touchdown at Auburn two plays later, racing 80 yards untouched on a read option. He addeed his first-career scoring pass a drive later, dropping a perfectly thrown 39-yard pass to freshman Nate Craig-Myers in the end zone.ddddddddddddAny touchdown is a pretty touchdown to me, Franklin said. It was definitely a nice pass to Nate (Craig-Myers). He got open and made it easier for me to drop it in. I was just thinking, `Dont miss this touchdown. Its too easy right now.The Warhawks only score came as time expired in the first half, a 2-yard pass to Marcus Green that got Louisiana-Monroe within 28-7.I just told them we have to bounce back, said Louisiana-Monroe head coach Matt Viator. We win and lose as a team. They beat all of us -- players and coaches, everybody. They outplayed us and outcoached us, so thats just the way it is. We all have to learn from it and get better.THE TAKEAWAYAUBURN: The red zone issues that plagued Auburn against LSU were nearly nonexistent. The Tigers scored touchdowns on four out of the five trips inside the 20, and the only trip they didnt score on came from the backups with less than a minute remaining.LOUISIANA-MONROE: The Warhawks dropped their third consecutive game, but will get a chance to right themselves against Idaho on a more level playing field.FIRST-DOWN FRENZYAuburns 36 first downs are the most since 2002 when the Tigers picked up 37 against Western Carolina, and three short of the school record.UP NEXTAUBURN: Travels to Starkville to play Mississippi State next Saturday.LOUISIANA-MONROE: Returns home to host Idaho next Saturday.
