LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Ryan Smyth started and finished an offensive outburst Thursday that brought the Los Angeles Kings a 6-3 victory over Minnesota.
Smyth scored just 67 seconds into the game and the Kings built a 3-0 lead after one period.
Minnesota closed to within one early in the third but Teddy Purcell boosted the Los Angeles lead midway through the frame and Smyth finished the scoring on a power-play goal with 8:52 remaining.
The Kings defeated the Wild in all four of their meetings last season.
Jonathan Quick allowed three goals, two of them on the power play, on 27 shots to get the victory.
Backup goaltender Josh Harding, starting his first game of the season for the Wild, gave up all six goals on just 22 shots.
