 Anze Kopitar also scored during the man advantage for the Kings,
who improved to 5-0-0 during their run of six straight home games.
Quick made 29 saves en route to his second blanking in three games
as he passed Rogie Vachon for first place on the franchise list.
Jhonas Enroth stopped 37 shots for the offensively challenged
Sabres, who were shut out for the third time in four contests.
Buffalo has scored a total of eight goals in as many games this
season and just one in its last four matches.
Los Angeles wasted little time getting on the board, taking
advantage of a power play just 36 seconds into the contest. Seven
seconds after Buffalo defenseman Tyler Myers was called for hooking,
Carter beat a screened Enroth with a wrist shot from the top of the
left faceoff circle for his fourth tally.
 Kopitar doubled the lead during a man advantage with 4:49 remaining
in the middle session. After keeping the puck in the offensive zone
at the right point, Kopitar skated into the faceoff circle and
dished it to Carter before firing the return pass past Enroth from
the slot.
