Viktor Arvidsson scored twice and the L.A. Kings took a decisive 5-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, Dec.6.
Matt Roy, Mikey Anderson and Kevin Fiala also had goals, and Anze Kopitar registered three assists for the Kings (14-10-4), who kicked off a six-game road trip.
Pheonix Copley made 31 saves in his first appearance for L.A.
The Senators (10-14-1) saw their two-game win streak come to an end.
Drake Batherson and Thomas Chabot each scored power-play goals for Ottawa, but the home side looked uninspired for long periods of play.
Cam Talbot got chased midway through the second period after allowing five goals on 14 shots. Anton Forsberg stopped all 13 shots he faced in relief.
“It's always a highlight of the year when the dads are able to come. Especially for everything they've done for us growing up, to get us to where we are today. It's a time to celebrate them.”

Down 5-1, midway through the third period, Ottawa's lone bright spot was Chabot picking up his second power play goal in as many games.
The Senators failed to show any real urgency to get back into the game, despite trailing 4-1 in the second.
Chabby bomb!
