LOS ANGELES—Adrian Kempe had his first four-goal game and completed Los Angeles’ first natural hat trick in nearly 10 years, Pheonix Copley got his second career shutout and the Kings rolled to a 6–0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night.

On a night the Kings retired the No. 23 jersey and unveiled a statue of Dustin Brown, Kempe did two things that were last accomplished by their former long time captain, who led the team to two Stanley Cup titles.
