The victory was the sixth in a row for Los Angeles, and Adrian Kempe set the tone.
The 28-year-old from Kramfors slung the puck into the net from close range in the end of the first period, after a pass from team captain Anze Kopitar.
Later, Kempe also contributed with an assist when teammate Mikey Andersen nailed the final result in the last act.
The last few games, our line has been pretty good, said LA team captain Kopitar after the game.
At the same time, Toronto's Pontus Holmberg equalized in the third period against New Jersey, which led to overtime and ultimately a 2–1 win for the Canadians.
The goal, which was scored in numerical inferiority, was the Swede's second for the season.
It was a great goal for us, said Toronto's coach Craig Berube to reporters after the game.
We got more chances in numerical inferiority than we got five on five and in numerical superiority tonight.
Minnesota's Marcus Johansson had a fine evening in the meeting with Utah. The 34-year-old scored a goal and two assists in the 5–4 win after penalties.
