LOS ANGELES — Boston winger Jake DeBrusk might not have been part of the original “perfection line” for the Boston Bruins, but there were few if any flaws in his game as his natural hat trick ignited their 7-0 rout of the Kings on Monday night at Crypto.com Arena.

DeBrusk, who has been skating with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand in a spot long occupied by David Pastrnak, completed his first career hat trick, added an assist and has scored seven goals in his past five games. He also requested a trade from Boston earlier this season.

Kings goalie Jonathan Quick was beaten by DeBrusk on two goals that hit him en route to the net and a deflection that was scrutinized to see if it had been played with a high stick. Quick made 14 saves on 19 shots before exiting the game. Cal Petersen stopped 11 shots in relief. The Kings saw their five-game winning streak snuffed, and their lifeless performance belied their West-leading record against the Eastern Conference.

Boston got multi-point nights from seven players: DeBrusk, Bergeron, Marchand, Pastrnak, winger Taylor Hall, forward Erik Haula and defenseman Charlie McAvoy. Jeremy Swayman earned his fifth career shutout in just 34 NHL appearances.

With 9:49 left in the game, Boston padded its lead off Haula’s deflection with one second remaining on a slashing penalty to defenseman Drew Doughty. It was Haula’s 100th career goal, and he added No. 101 off the rush with 6:21 to play.

Boston had stretched its advantage to four goals and then five, tallying twice in a 62-second span to seal the Kings’ fate before the second intermission.

First, during a power play, Bergeron won an offensive-zone draw that led to Pastrnak’s one-timer from above the left faceoff circle being redirected home by Bergeron with 8:20 left in the second period.

Then Hall scored off the rush and chased Quick from the game. It was the second time this season Quick was pulled, and the first since a Dec. 28 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

Down three goals early in the second stanza, the Kings earned a lengthy two-man advantage but failed to reduce their deficit.

The Kings staved off a power play – they killed 15 consecutive penalties across more than 300 minutes before allowing a power-play goal – but couldn’t withstand the supple mitts of DeBrusk. He tipped Bergeron’s shot from the outer edge of the faceoff circle past Quick, completing his natural hat trick 53 seconds into the middle frame. Approximately 20 hats were hurled to the ice by visiting fans.

The Kings had nearly fallen down three goals earlier, but Quick made multiple saves from various angles during a Boston offensive that only ended after center Blake Lizotte took a tripping penalty.

Brendan Lemieux and Trent Frederic dropped their gloves and dueled to what could be considered a draw in the first period. It was Lemieux’s team-leading seventh fighting major of the season.

DeBrusk was a thorn in the Kings’ side during the first period, and nowhere was that more evident than on his second goal, 13:37 into the first period. He dumped the puck in, chased it down and went to work on the forecheck, dogging the Kings relentlessly on the left side. After Marchand pressured defenseman Mikey Anderson in the right corner, DeBrusk picked off his pass in the middle of the ice and whipped a wrist shot that clipped Quick’s glove on its way into the net.

Boston got on the board first, just 61 seconds into the game when DeBrusk let fly with a long, innocent-looking shot to the short side that handcuffed Quick and entered the net. The Bruins nearly extended their lead 3:29 into the game, but winger Charlie Coyle’s goal was disallowed because he batted the puck in with his hand.
