Chicago Outlook 

The Blackhawks took down the Los Angeles Kings last night. The Kings build a 2-0 lead through two periods. The Blackhawks tied things up early in the third period with goals by Nick Foligno and Craig Smith. LA went ahead with about eight minutes to go with a goal by Phillip Danault. Chicago pulled their goal in the final moments of the game and Tyler Bertuzzi tied the game with just 31 seconds to go.

Neither team scored in the overtime session. In the shootout, all three Chicago players scored to secure two points and the win. Solid road win for Chicago who went from never losing in regulation to pulling out the win in the shootout.
