Los Angeles, which moved two points ahead of the Edmonton Oilers for second in the Pacific Division, is 12-0-3 during the point streak with seven straight wins on home ice.

Kevin Fiala scored twice, Phillip Danault had a power-play goal, and Darcy Kuemper made 23 saves for the Kings (40-21-9), who are 8-1-0 in their past nine overall.

J.T. Miller scored, Igor Shesterkin made 30 saves, and the Rangers (34-32-6) remain one point behind the Montreal Canadiens for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference having played two more games.

Miller put the Rangers ahead 1-0 at 2:10 of the second period when he swept in a centering pass from Alexis Lafreniere with Kuemper trying to reposition after getting turned around. Play continued following the sequence as Kuemper appeared to have kept the puck out with a sprawling pad save, but video review determined the puck completely crossed the goal line.

Fiala tied it 1-1 on the power play at 10:54, getting to the right post to chip in Andrei Kuzmenko’s cross-slot pass. Anze Kopitar had the secondary assist, the 831st of his career to pass Henrik Sedin (830) for fourth-most in NHL history by a player born outside North America.

Danault then gave the Kings a 2-1 lead at 17:48 of the second period. He used his right skate to control the rebound of Trevor Moore’s wrist shot from the right circle before shooting over an outstretched Shesterkin from below the left circle.

Fiala scored an empty-net goal at 19:45 of the third period for the 3-1 final.
