LOS ANGELES — Adrian Kempe and Alex Laferriere scored goals, Darcy Kuemper made 22 saves, and the Los Angeles Kings beat Minnesota 4-1 to end the Wild's five-game win streak. Trevor Moore added two empty-net goals for the Kings, who have won a season-high five consecutive games. Kempe was in the right place at the right time to send Anze Kopitar's rebound in off his left skate in the last minute of the first period. Laferriere doubled the lead on the power play midway through the second through a screen set by Phillip Danault. Yakov Trenin scored late in the third and Marc Andre-Fleury made 30 saves for the Wild.
