LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kevin Fiala scored two goals for the second straight game, and Quinton Byfield and Alex Laferriere had a goal and two assists apiece in the Los Angeles Kings' 5-4 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday.
Captain Anze Kopitar also scored for the Kings, who have won 10 of 13. Los Angeles is four points behind Pacific Division-leading Vegas and four points ahead of third-place Edmonton with three games to go, likely sending the Kings into a fourth consecutive first-round meeting with the Oilers.

Los Angeles' Darcy Kuemper made 22 saves against the team with which he won the Stanley Cup in 2022, but his streak of allowing two goals or fewer ended at 15 consecutive starts — one short of matching Miikka Kiprusoff's 2003-04 expansion-era record.
Brock Nelson scored two goals for the Avalanche to secure his fourth straight 25-goal season, and second-place Colorado nearly won despite resting NHL scoring co-leader Nathan MacKinnon and several other regulars with its playoff seeding already decided.
Valeri Nichushkin and Sam Malinski also scored, and Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 28 shots.
Colorado was locked into the No. 3 seed in the Central Division earlier this week, allowing the Avs to sit MacKinnon, Cole Makar, Devon Toews, Jonathan Drouin and others during their final weekend of the regular season in Southern California.
Avalanche: An impressive offensive outing with so much firepower missing.
Kings: Kuemper had a rare dud, but his frequently low-scoring team has 11 goals in the past two games and 31 in the last seven.
Laferriere reclaimed the lead for LA with a one-timer set up by Brandt Clarke midway through the second.
Fiala extended his own career high to 34 goals this season.
The Avalanche finish their regular season in Anaheim on Sunday. The Kings still have three more games, starting Monday in Edmonton.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 16, 2025--
Perfect Corp. (NYSE: PERF), a global leader in augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) beauty and fashion tech, has teamed up with Spanish Techno-Beauty brand UNICSKIN to enhance the online skincare experience through advanced AI-powered skin assessments. The integration brings Perfect Corp.’s AI Skin Analysis technology to UNICSKIN’s e-commerce platform, offering shoppers personalized LED mask recommendations based on their real-time skin condition.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250416738551/en/
The technology analyzes four key skin metrics—wrinkles, firmness, acne, and dark spots—to determine the ideal LED light color for each user’s specific concerns. For example, red light is recommended for its anti-aging effects, which help reduce wrinkles and improve firmness, while blue light is suggested for acne-prone skin. The result is a hyper-personalized skincare journey that helps users choose the right treatment from UNICSKIN’s new LED mask collection with greater confidence and clarity.
From Skin Insights to Light Therapy: Scaling AI Across the Skincare Journey
Perfect Corp.’s AI Skin Analysis was first launched on UNICSKIN’s website through the “InstaSkin Pro” tool, which delivers product recommendations for serums, creams, and other skincare solutions. Building on the success of that feature, UNICSKIN has now added a dedicated AI-powered experience specifically tailored for its LED mask lineup: the InstaSkin Pro 5.0, further strengthening its commitment to precision skincare through technology.
Frictionless E-Commerce Shopping Experience, Powered by AI
The solution is enabled through Perfect Corp.’s AI Skin Analysis Widget Mode that allows for rapid deployment with minimal technical overhead. The AI Widget Mode’s Plug & Play access, available through Perfect Corp’s Console, delivers a ready-to-use UI and UX experience, along with simplified customization. This generates an instant skin assessment and a customized product routine that adapts to each user’s needs.
With this implementation, UNICSKIN empowers consumers to make more informed skincare decisions through real-time skin insights, while streamlining product discovery in a fast-growing segment of at-home beauty tech.
Turning Data Into Beauty Decisions for At-Home Skincare Innovation
“As skincare continues to evolve, consumers are embracing a wide range of solutions—from serums and creams to innovative beauty devices,” said Alice Chang, Founder and CEO of Perfect Corp. “We’re proud to see our AI Skin Analysis technology supporting this shift by extending into new categories such as LED masks. It’s also a pleasure to continue growing our collaboration with UNICSKIN, following the success of our initial work together on InstaSkin Pro.”
Mónica Sada, CEO & Founder at UNICSKIN, added, “At UNICSKIN, we’re always looking for ways to combine science and innovation to elevate our customers’ skincare journey. By integrating Perfect Corp.’s AI skin analysis, we can now provide even more accurate LED mask guidance tailored to individual needs.”
On-Pack AI Activation: Driving Real-Time Engagement from Shelf to Screen
To celebrate the launch of its new LED mask collection, UNICSKIN hosted an exclusive event on April 9. As part of the experience, guests were able to access a personalized skin analysis via QR codes printed on the product packaging—offering an optional digital touchpoint that connects users to tailored LED mask recommendations.
