Kings Tough Out A Victory Over Chicago Blackhawks
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on November 30th, 2009
With their top line sorely missing Ryan Smyth and their offense sagging, the Kings reverted to the hard-hitting defensive efforts that were so effective for them last season.
That, plus a performance by Jonathan Quick that improved as the tension increased, allowed the Kings to wring out a 2-1 shootout victory over the Chicago Blackhawks before an announced sellout crowd Saturday at Staples Center.
After making a season-high 32 saves in the first 65 minutes, Quick stopped a wrist shot by Jonathan Toews and a backhander by Patrick Kane in the shootout.
The Kings got shootout goals from Anze Kopitar and Jack Johnson — with the latter playing himself into strong contention for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team — to end a three-game home losing streak and send the Blackhawks back to Chicago with consecutive losses in Southern California after being shut out by the Ducks on Friday.
