BUFFALO, N.Y.\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Alex Tuch<\/a> had his fourth career hat trick to push his season goals total to 22, leading the surging Buffalo Sabres to a 4-1 victory<\/a> over the Kings<\/a> on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Alex Lyon made a season-high 37 saves for his 10th consecutive victory to break the franchise record set by Gerry Desjardins in December 1976.<\/p>\n

Tuch reached the 20-goal mark for the fourth straight season and fifth overall. Mattias Samuelsson also scored to help the Sabres win for the 20 time in 24 games.<\/p>\n

Adrian Kempe<\/a> scored for the Kings, and Darcy Kuemper<\/a> made 28 saves. The Kings had won three straight games and earned points in six in a row.<\/p>\n

Tuch opened the scoring on a power play on a shot that went off Cody Ceci\u2019s skate and past Kuemper at 7:14 of the first period. Samuelsson made it 2-0 with 8:43 left in the period.<\/p>\n

Tuch\u2019s second of the game made it 3-0. He deflected Bowen Byram\u2019s shot at 6:29 of the second.<\/p>\n

Kempe cut it to 3-1 with a power play goal 1:18 later.<\/p>\n

Tuch added an empty-net goal with a minute left in the third.<\/p>\n

Up next for the Kings: at Philadelphia on Saturday.<\/p>\n
