The NHL rescinded the NFL jerseys suspension on Saturday under Rule 47.22, which states it shall be served unless the director of hockey operations "deems the incident is not related to the score, previous incidents in the game or prior games, retaliatory in nature, 'message sending,' etc."
Michal Handzus, on a power play, and Fredrik Modin scored for the young Kings, who shook up their bottom three forward lines to little effect.
Justin Williams returned for the first time since being sent from the first line to the press box as a healthy scratch after struggling in Game 1. He played with Handzus and Modin, and fourth-liner Scott Parse came out of the lineup.
The new look produced 13 shots through 40 minutes. Los Angeles stayed in it a while with a power play that was clicking at 56.2 percent coming in.
Bernier opened the scoring after a fortuitous bounce off the end boards left him with an open net, but Los Angeles tied it with 5:36 left in the period. Handzus banked his third power-play goal of the series in off defenseman Christian Ehrhoff from a sharp angle after the Canucks failed on a good clear chance.
It was the 10th power-play goal of the series on 18 chances for the Kings. But after the Sedins and Samuelsson combined to create a three-goal cushion, the Canucks killed off two straight penalties, including a 5-on-3 advantage that lasted 28 seconds.
The Bruins lead the first-round series 3-2 going into Monday's game at Boston.
