LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sami Salo and Andrew Ebbett scored power-play goals in the opening minutes, and Roberto Luongo made 28 saves in the Vancouver Canucks’ 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.

Aaron Rome also scored in the first period of the defending Western Conference champion Canucks’ fifth stop on a six-game road trip that ends Friday night in Anaheim. Vancouver has won eight of its last 11 regular-season meetings with the Kings, also knocking them out of the 2010 playoffs.

Drew Doughty scored and Jonathan Quick stopped 29 shots for Los Angeles, which couldn’t climb out of its early hole after penalties to Trevor Lewis and Doughty.

Mike Richards scored while Quick was pulled for an extra attacker with 1:10 to play, but Vancouver held on.
