Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tomas Kopecky scored a pair of third period
goals to lift Chicago to a 3-0 win over Los Angeles at Staples Center.
Blackhawks rookie goaltender Antti Niemi needed to make just 17 saves to
record his fifth career shutout.
Troy Brouwer added his 20th goal of the season for Central Division-leading
Chicago, which holds an 11-point lead over second-place Nashville.
The Blackhawks also moved into a tie with San Jose for the top spot in the
Western Conference with 96 points.
Jonathan Quick made 34 saves on 37 shots for the Kings, who have dropped five
of their last seven games. Los Angeles is tied with the Predators for sixth in
the playoff standings.
"We have to learn from our mistakes, and carry forth. We just have to hit the
reset button," said Kings forward Ryan Smyth.
Brouwer crashed the crease to put Chicago on the board at the 11:36 mark of
the second period.
Kopecky pushed the puck down the left side and fired a low wrister that beat
Quick inside the far post 2:48 into the third. The Slovakian forward converted
a turnover from Los Angeles defenseman Jack Johnson to make it 3-0 at 6:08.
"I thought we checked well and I thought everybody was contributing to what we
wanted to do tonight," said Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville. "(Kopecky)
gets big goals in the third. But across the board, we liked how we played."
