Adrian Kempe has first career hat trick in Kings' win over Canadiens

Adrian Kempe had his first career hat trick to lead the Kings to a 5-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday.

Michael Cammalleri scored the other two goals for the Kings, who have opened their season with their best six-game start (5-0-1) in franchise history.

Montreal (1-5-1) still hasn't won in regulation this season.

The 21-year-old Kempe scored the go-ahead goal on a 2-on-1 breakaway for the Kings at 7:34 in the third period. He scored again at 16:42 and added another at 18:24 as hats were thrown onto the ice.
