LOS ANGELES — Brendan Lemieux scored in his first game back after a suspension and the Los Angeles Kings ended the Minnesota Wild's eight-game winning streak with a 2-1 victory Saturday night. Phillip Danault also scored for the Kings, Jonathan Quick made 29 saves, and L.A. swept its two-game homestand. Marcus Foligno had a goal for the Wild, who hadn't lost in regulation since a 5-4 loss at Florida on Nov. 20. Mats Zuccarello had two sharp-angle shots on net with less than 15 seconds to play, but the Kings were able to hold on. GLARING ABSENCEThe Kings played most of the game with five defensemen after Alexander Edler sustained a left leg injury early in the first period.
