Mason Marchment scored two power-play goals in the first period and the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets finished off a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday.
Krill Marchenko added a power-play goal and Jet Greaves made 23 saves as the Blue Jackets won for just the second time in nine games (2-6-1). Damon Severson had two assists as Columbus earned its first road victory since Dec. 1, ending an 0-3-1 road skid.
Marchment, who was acquired in a trade with Seattle on Friday, has three goals in two games with his new team. He had just four goals in 29 games to start the season with the Kraken.
Andrei Kuzmenko scored a goal and Anton Forsberg stopped 27 shots for the Kings, who lost for the fifth time in their past six games (1-3-2). Los Angeles dropped the opener of a stretch in which it will play seven of eight games at home.
With the Blue Jackets on an early power play, Marchment delivered just over four minutes into the game when he moved in from the blue line and fired a wrist shot past Forsberg from the slot.
Columbus added an opportunistic power play-goal with 24 seconds remaining in the opening period. Severson fired a shot that deflected off Marchment's body and into the net.
The Kings cut the deficit in half at 18:41 of the second period. Kuzmenko threw the puck on net and into traffic from the blue line, with Greaves unable to make the stop.
Marchenko gave the Blue Jackets a 3-1 lead at 14:16 of the third period when he scored from the left circle on a quick shot past Forsberg.
Columbus went 3-for-7 on the man advantage and killed off all five Los Angeles power plays after entering with the third-worst penalty kill in the NHL at 72.9%. The Kings' power play ranked third from the bottom of the league entering the night at 14.6%.
