Quinton Byfield tallied for the Kings, who captured the second wild-card playoff spot in the Western Conference and will play the NHL-best Colorado Avalanche in the first round starting Sunday. Anton Forsberg stopped 18 shots in Los Angeles’ first regulation loss in April after a 6-0-2 run. Blues 5, Mammoth 3 Robert Thomas recorded his second career hat trick, lifting St. Louis to a win over Utah in the regular-season finale for both teams in Salt Lake City.

The Mammoth have lost three of their past four games ahead of their Western Conference first-round series against the Vegas Golden Knights.
