Nick Bjugstad extended the Minnesota lead to 4-2 on a rebound at 18:38.
"I think once we got out (of the second period), [leading] 4-2 on Bjugstad's great goal, I think we felt pretty good there heading into the third," Foligno said.
Joel Eriksson Ek made it 5-2 on the rush at 4:44 of the third period. Alex Iafallo cut it to 5-3 at 9:41.
Kings defenseman Sean Walker left the game at 3:57 of the third after taking a Matt Dumba slap shot to the face, leaving Los Angeles with four defensemen for the remainder of the game. McLellan had no update on Walker or Roy, who was seeing the doctor after the game, except that the Kings expect Roy to be OK.
"They're two really good players, two of our biggest defensemen on our team, so it [stinks] to lose them," Doughty said.
McLellan said, "It affects everybody (to lose two players). I thought we tried to rally around it to begin with. We weren't very good before [Roy] got hit and then we started to wake up and play a little bit. And then when [Walker] took the shot, we talked about it. The guys wanted to play for them. So I thought we played harder after we lost two guys than we did before. Emotionally it takes a lot out of a group to see two teammates leave like that."
Los Angeles closed the game on the power play with Quick pulled for the extra attacker after Kahkonen sent the puck over the glass and was penalized for delay of game with 1:52 remaining.
"[The win is] a step in the right direction," Johansson said. "It feels like it's starting to get going a little bit and we have to build off that."
