Chicago explodes late, Kings fall 4-2

Chicago’s Corey Crawford made 33 saves and Los Angeles’ Jonathan Quick stopped 22 shots. We can’t score on breakaways except for Artie.

The Kings’ seven-game winning streak ended.

The goal from Kane was kind of fluky because it was pretty much a goal due to a screen by the LA defenseman, but his no look pass to Teuvo Teravainen was a thing of beauty. “So it was nice to see him finish it”. “They keep playing their game throughout the whole game”, Crawford said. Kane’s high shot beat Jonathan Quick just 1:22 into the third, with Teravainen added his third of the season about eight minutes later.

Shattenkirk was once again on the ice with teammates Tuesday morning and though he won’t play on Tuesday, he wasn’t ruled out for Wednesday’s game against Chicago. “We got into a little trouble there with the penalty at the end, but I thought we played well. A lot of guys were skating hard, making the right plays”.

Kane and Toews each had a goal and an assist to lead the Blackhawks to a 4-2 victory over Los Angeles on Monday night, snapping the Kings’ seven-game winning streak.

Jake Muzzin had set up two goals in the first period for the Kings, but they were undone in the third.

“Going down 2-1 and going into the third down a goal, that’s a big confidence booster for us knowing that we can come back, we can score goals”, Kane said.

Monday night was yet another highlight-filled night of Blackhawks hockey, which is to say it was another night of Blackhawks hockey. The 20-year-old Dano was acquired from Columbus on June 30 in a trade that sent Brandon Saad to the Blue Jackets…. Chicago RW Marian Hossa was scratched after sustaining a lower-body injury Friday against Minnesota. Kings D Christian Ehrhoff was back in uniform after leaving Saturday’s game vs. Nashville late in the second period after what he called a “dirty play” by the Predators’ Mike Ribeiro…. D Derek Forbort, recalled Sunday from Ontario (AHL), was in uniform Monday for the Kings.

As the second period got underway, both teams generated a few quality chances, but neither were able to sustain the pressure.
