EDMONTON, Alberta -- Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick had another vintage night against Edmonton. Oilers goalie Cam Talbot had a night he'll want to forget.

Quick stopped 42 of 44 shots, as Los Angeles beat the Oilers 5-2. Quick has lost only one regulation game to the Oilers in 23 decisions against them. Meanwhile, Talbot was yanked early in the second period after giving up three goals he won't want to see again on the game film.

It was the Kings' third win in a row, while the Oilers seven-game home winning streak came to an end with a resounding thud.

Talbot allowed three goals in a span of 1:36 in the second after a scoreless first period.

The meltdown began when Kings left winger Dwight King to beat Talbot from a bad angle 4:22 into the second period. Oilers defenseman Justin Schultz was stripped of the puck behind his own net. King fired the puck from the side of the net past Talbot.

A little more than a minute later, left winger Michael Mersch came out of the corner and stuffed the puck into the net. It was the rookie's first NHL goal.

The Kings made it 3-0 at 5:58 when center Tyler Toffoli's wrist shot beat Talbot, again from a bad angle. Oilers coach Todd McLellan replaced Talbot, who made 11 saves on 14 shots, with Anders Nilsson. Talbot relieved Nilsson in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Calgary.

It was Toffoli's sixth goal in his last four games.

At 9:56 of the second period, Oilers left winger Benoit Pouliot scored, breaking Quick's bid to become the NHL's all-time leading shutout leader amongst Americans. He is tied with Frank "Mister. Zero" Brimsek and John Vanbiesbrouck with 40.

Center Trevor Lewis restored the Kings' three-goal cushion at 14:18 of the second, making it 4-1.

Oiler center Mark Letestu banged home a pass from left winger Lauri Korpikoski to make it 4-2 just 1:59 into the third period; but right winger Dustin Brown, who finished the night with a goal and two assists, banged home a power-play marker off a goalmouth scramble to cap the scoring.
