Sunday's NHL Capsules

Games played on Oct. 12, 2014

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kings linemates Jeff Carter, Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson each had a goal and an assist in Los Angeles' first victory of the season, 4-1 over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night.

Anze Kopitar also scored and Drew Doughty had two assists for the Stanley Cup champions, who lost the first two games of their title defense.

Martin Jones made 29 saves for the Kings, who took a 4-0 lead in the second period. Los Angeles got a dominant game from That 70s Line - the jersey-number-inspired nickname for Carter's line with youngsters Toffoli and Pearson, formed during last spring's title run.

Bryan Little scored for Winnipeg, which lost two of three on its season-opening trip, scoring just one goal in back-to-back California weekend losses.

MAPLE LEAFS 6, RANGERS 3

NEW YORK (AP) - Phil Kessel, James van Riemsdyk and Toronto broke out of its scoring slumber with five goals in the second period against Henrik Lundqvist in New York's home opener.

Toronto mustered only five goals total in dropping its first two games of the season at home, but busted out against the Rangers, fueled by Kessel and van Riemsdyk, who both notched their first goal and first point of the season. Kessel added in two assists, and van Riemsdyk had one.

Defenseman Cody Franson staked the Maple Leafs to a 1-0 lead in the first during a power play, and Kessel, Nazem Kadri, van Riemsdyk, Tyler Bozak and David Clarkson connected in the second - driving Lundqvist from the net after he stopped only 18 of 24 shots. Kessel's goal was also on a power play, and van Riemsdyk stuffed a puck under Lundqvist on a short-handed breakaway.

Rick Nash, Lee Stempniak and Derick Brassard scored for New York.
