TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings rebounded quickly from a one-sided loss.

Anze Kopitar scored the lone shootout goal as the Kings beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Saturday night. Quick stopped 28 shots, helping Los Angeles win one day after the Kings were routed 7-0 by the Atlanta Thrashers.

``That felt great,' Quick said. ``(Friday's) game was a rough one, so it was great to see the way the team battled back the night after on the road. Everyone just dug in deep and played a great game.'

Drew Doughty scored in regulation for the Kings, who won for the second time in five games.

The Lightning got a goal from Ryan Malone, and Antero Niittymaki made 29 saves for Tampa Bay, 5-0-4 at home.

Doughty put the Kings ahead 1-0 from the high slot during a power play at 7:20 of the third. Malone tied it at 1 on a rebound wraparound goal with 8:21 left in the period.

Tampa Bay had a goal with 1:40 left in overtime disallowed because of goaltender interference. It appeared that Tampa Bay forward Paul Szczechura might have been pushed into Quick by a Kings player during Andrej Meszaros' shot from the blue line.

``I was going to the net to try and get into the goalie's eyes there with a screen,' Szczechura said. ``I got pushed in there.'

Tampa Bay coach Rick Tocchet believed it should have been a goal.

``There's nothing you can do. It happens,' Tocchet said. ``We had a couple chances in overtime, but it's a tough one.'

The call by referee Frederick L'Ecuyer wasn't allowed to be reviewed by video replay.

``In the eyes of the referee, the goaltender was clearly interfered with by the attacking player,' NHL referee supervisor Don Koharski said.

Quick stopped all eight first-period shots he faced, including an in-close chance by Vincent Lecavalier. He was pulled in the second period of the loss at Atlanta.

``I think it's a huge lift for him, personally,' Los Angeles captain Dustin Brown said.

Niittymaki made a nifty glove save on a shot by NHL points leader Kopitar from near the crease just over a minute into the second. Kopitar assisted on Doughty's goal for his 17th assist and 31st point.

``I think everybody was just competing a lot harder,' Kopitar said. ``We were winning loose puck battles and everybody played for each other.'

Both teams had 18 shots through two scoreless periods.

``The biggest thing is just moving forward and building off this win here,' Quick said.
