Like a checklist, Los Angeles Kings coach Darryl Sutter began rattling off the offensive contributions of some of his key players following their victory over the Edmonton Oilers. Defensively, however, there's plenty of room for improvement before the playoffs begin. Tyler Toffoli had two goals and two assists, Trevor Lewis added a short-handed goal and the Kings completed a five-game season sweep of the Oilers with a 6-4 victory Saturday night. Andy Andreoff and Jeff Carter also scored, Milan Lucic tied a career high with three assists and Jonathan Quick made 25 saves to help the Kings maintain their three-game lead over Anaheim for the Pacific Division lead with seven games left on the schedule. "Jeff was making a lot of plays out there and his speed was very evident, especially against a really fast team," Sutter said. "Tyler's had trouble in close lately scoring goals and finishing, so it was good to see him score from in close. And Lucic was a force." Patrick Maroon had two goals in the third period for Edmonton, and Jordan Eberle and rookie Connor McDavid scored in the first. Rookie Laurent Brossoit stopped 27 shots in his sixth NHL start, three days after his 23rd birthday. He is still looking for his first victory. The Oilers have lost nine straight games at Staples Center since Nov. 3, 2011. Ducks 4, Senators 3 (OT): The Anaheim Ducks rallied from a three-goal deficit in the third period and went on to defeat the Ottawa Senators 4-3 in overtime. Rickard Rakell scored the winner at 2:38 of overtime, improving Anaheim's record to 41-23-10. The Senators dropped to 34-33-9. Islanders 4, Hurricanes 3 (OT): New York Islanders right winger Cal Clutterbuck scored with 13.8 seconds remaining in overtime to produce a 4-3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes. Stars 4, Sharks 2: Goaltender Antti Niemi made 34 saves, Mattias Janmark scored two goals, and the Dallas Stars held on for a 4-2 victory against the San Jose Sharks at SAP Center. Patrick Sharp scored in the second period for the Stars (45-22-9), who clinched a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Tuesday and lead the Central Division with 99 points. Jamie Benn scored an empty-net goal with 1:08 left to play, his 37th goal of the season. Wild 4, Avalanche 0: Zach Parise scored twice, Devan Dubnyk had 29 saves for his fifth shutout of the season, and the Minnesota Wild beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-0 to grab control of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
