“Obviously, it’s exciting having [Quick] back,” Toffoli said. “He’s one of the best, if not the best goalie in the League. He stood on his head and made some big saves when we needed them.”
Andrew Cogliano was the lone scorer for the Ducks.
“We made too many mistakes,” Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle said. “We made individual mistakes. We gave the Kings the puck and we can’t make those kinds of mistakes in the areas that we made mistakes and not expect teams to take advantage of that.”
Jeff Carter and Dustin Brown also scored for the Kings who struck four times in the third period.

Jonathan Bernier made 29 saves in the loss.
Anaheim’s newly acquired Patrick Eaves played more than 16 minutes in his first action as a Duck.
“I think I got my legs under me halfway through the first period. I am really excited to be here and be a part of this group. It has only been one game and I feel like I have been a part of it. The guys have been great and I have played against a lot of these guys for a while, so it’s finally nice to join them,” Eaves said after the game.
