Blackhawks’ Kane gets point in record 19th straight game

Marian Gaborik scored the tying goal with 5 minutes, 55 seconds left in regulation and added his fifth of the season 2 minutes, 4 seconds into overtime, lifting the Los Angeles Kings to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night. They also hinted they’ll be formidable foes for any team with hopes of winning the West this season.

The Caps reeled off a 4-2 win against Toronto on Saturday, giving them five straight wins. Once again, it was Kane who was recorded another point as he was credited with the assist. The Kings closed a five-game trip with a 2-1 shootout loss to Tampa Bay on Wednesday, falling despite a 38-30 advantage in shots.

Kane scored a power-play goal midway through the first period of the Blackhawks’ road trip finale against the Los Angeles Kings, beating Jonathan Quick with a high wrist shot and celebrating with a yell and a fist pump. Kings center Anze Kopitar tried to pass the puck to fellow penalty-killer Dustin Brown but Chicago defenseman Duncan Keith poked the puck off Brown’s stick and toward Kane, who didn’t miss. It was Gaborik’s fourth and most important game of the season as it tied the game at 2-2. It was pretty exciting when it happened, and it looked like it was going to be a fun night there. They took a 1-0 lead in the first period on a Kane goal.

Jeff Carter’s goal on the first shot of the third period put the belief in the Kings that they could come back. In the 19 games Ehrhoff has played, he has contributed six points and a minus-6 rating while averaging 13.17 minutes of ice-time at even strength 5v5 according to war-on-ice.com.

Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane has a point in his 19th consecutive game to set a new National Hockey League record for the longest points streak by a U.S.-born player.

A simple typo can change everything.

Patrick Kane’s torrid start to the 2015-16 season is now a record-breaking start.

Essentially, the Kings did to the Blackhawks what the Blackhawks had done to the Ducks on Friday: stage a late rally and win in overtime.

Derek Forbot was scratched before the game.

A club spokesman said the Kings have made a bid to play host to the 2017 NHL All-Star game.

The Kings remain in Los Angeles where they will hos the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night at Staples Center.
