Drew Doughty had a goal and two assists to lead the Kings to a 5-3 win over Utah on Saturday night.
Kevin Fiala, Alex Laferriere, Trevor Lewis and Mikey Anderson also scored as the Kings improved their record at home to 18-3-2. Darcy Kuemper made 25 saves.
Barrett Hayton had his first career hat trick for Utah, which was looking for its fourth win in five games. Connor Ingram made 21 saves.
Doughty, who missed the start of the season because of a broken ankle, was back in action after playing for champion Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off and tied the score 1-1 with 26 seconds after Hayton opened the scoring in the first. He had the secondary assist on Fiala’s power-play goal and sent a long clearing pass that Laferriere chased down to put the Kings up 2-1 late in the second.
It was Doughty’s 16th career game with at least three points.
