LOS ANGELES — Anze Kopitar, Trevor Moore and Kevin Fiala each had a goal and an assist, and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Ottawa Senators 5-2 on Saturday night for their season-high third consecutive win.
Alex Laferriere and Adrian Kempe also scored for Los Angeles, and David Rittich made 20 saves.
Kopitar snapped a tie 1:37 into the third period, finding himself alone at the top of the crease before finishing for his eighth goal of the season.
Kempe added a power-play goal with 3:46 remaining after Ottawa was called for its second too many men penalty. Moore closed it out with an empty-netter.
Ottawa's Adam Gaudette scored for the third straight game. Tim Stutzle also scored, and Anton Forsberg made 22 saves.
Takeaways
Senators: Gaudette is up to 12 goals in 22 games, matching his career high in 59 games with the Vancouver Canucks in 2019-20.
Kings: Moore returned after sitting out a 2-1 win at Anaheim on Friday because of an illness. But veteran fourth-liner Trevor Lewis was sidelined by a lower-body injury in the first period.
