Jonathan Quick Sets Kings Franchise Record With 33 Career Shutouts In Win Over Sabres

 LOS ANGELES (AP) --  Jonathan Quick made 29 saves to set the Kings franchise record with his 33rd career shutout, and Los Angeles beat the Buffalo Sabres 2-0 on Thursday night for its fifth consecutive victory.

Jeff Carter and Anze Kopitar scored power-play goals for the defending Stanley Cup champions in their first game since defenseman Slava Voynov was suspended indefinitely by the NHL after his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence early Monday.

Voynov, a two-time Stanley Cup winner and a key contributor to the Kings for the past three seasons, hasn't been charged. He was replaced by Jake Muzzin, who returned from injury for his first game of the season.

Jhonas Enroth stopped 37 shots for the Sabres, who have lost seven of eight to start the season.

Buffalo has scored one goal in its last four games, and its power play is 0 for 27 this season.

Kings forward Jordan Nolan played against his father, Sabres coach Ted Nolan, for the first time in the NHL, but the son's team dominated the reunion.

Quick was tested only occasionally while pulling ahead of Rogie Vachon for the franchise lead in shutouts with his second in three games. Los Angeles has allowed just three goals while winning the first five games of its six-game homestand, which concludes Sunday against Columbus.

"It's more about what as a team we're able to do," Quick said. "But I know what Rogie achieved and what he meant to this team and this city."

Carter scored in the opening minute and added an assist. His third multipoint performance in five games highlighted another productive night for That 70s Line. Carter, Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson have scored 12 of the Kings' 16 goals this season.

Carter put the Kings ahead just 36 seconds after the opening faceoff, firing a long shot through traffic 7 seconds into a power play for his fourth goal of the season. With fresh legs from three days off, Los Angeles had a step on the Sabres for much of the night.

Kopitar doubled the lead late in the second period when he brought the puck in from the point and did a give-and-go with Carter, whose assist was his 100th point with Los Angeles. The goal was just the second of the season for Kopitar, the Kings' leading scorer during last season's run to the title.

NOTES: The Kings have killed 17 straight penalties. ... Former Buffalo defenseman Brayden McNabb leveled Torrey Mitchell with a big hit in the first period, and Drew Stafford got an instigator penalty and a misconduct for challenging McNabb to an immediate fight. The Kings acquired McNabb from the Sabres last March in a four-player trade that included Nicolas Deslauriers, who blocked two shots for Buffalo. ... Muzzin agreed to a five-year, $20 million contract extension while injured.
