Trevor Moore also scored for the Kings, who moved two points ahead of Edmonton for second place in the Pacific division.

Darcy Kuemper made 18 rescues when Los Angeles won their eleventh victory in 14 games while dominating this meeting of the two best defensive NHL teams.

Cole Perfetti scored his 17th place and Connor Hellebuyck stopped 16 shots for the jets, whose three -game winning streak ended in the first game of a three -game road trip.

Kuzmenko’s excellent bidirectional performance highlighted his recent increase for the Kings, who acquired it last month. He has nine points in his last seven games after obtaining a goal and two assists in the victory of the 8-1 over San José on Sunday.

Moore opened the scoring when his deviation in the air of Joel Edmundson’s album to the network bounced in his own skate for his 17th place.

Only 82 seconds later, Los Angeles executed transition experts. Kuzmenko forced a half -ice billing of David Gustafsson and finally fueled Kopitar for his first goal.

Kempe put his 32 goal on an empty network.

Jets: Luke Schenn stayed out of the defeat, which gives hope to the stars of Dallas in second place, who heals Winnipeg for four points with a game in his hand.

Kings: With another excellent defensive performance, Los Angeles extended their franchise record with the 28th victory at the season of the season. Kings still have five games at home.

Kuzmenko ended the second period by stealing Logan Stanley in the neutral zone and skating down for an electrifying objective without assistance.

The Kings swept the club season (3-0-0) for the first time since the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg in 2011.

The Jets visit Las Vegas on Thursday, and the Kings visit Utah.
