Phillip Danault scores twice off rebounds and Trevor Moore adds a short-handed goal, but Alex DeBrincat is the lone scorer in the shootout to give Chicago a 4-3 win.
LOS ANGELES –– It was truly a throwback on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena, where the Kings and Chicago Blackhawks turned in a thriller reminiscent of their playoff clashes from both franchises’ golden eras, with Chicago prevailing, 4-3, in a shootout.
“Overall, for the first time in a long time, even with all the defensemen out, it looked disjointed between forwards and D,” Kings coach Todd McLellan said. “Whether it was passing, execution, coming out of our end or defending in our zone, there wasn’t a lot of communication. [There was] duplication between forwards and DMen and missed coverages from the back of the net, so we have to clean that up if we want to have success moving forward.
Just past the 9-minute mark of the third period, the Kings battled back with a third equalizer. For the second time Thursday, Danault picked up some loose change, scoring off a rebound generated by an Arvidsson shot attempt that was created by a pass from Durzi. Danault’s 21 goals are eight more than he scored in any previous season, and two shy of his best year from his junior hockey days in Victoriaville, Quebec.“He’s a huge, huge part of our team right now and, I think, will always be.
Chicago took a lead into the second intermission as it had the first, thanks to a late-period breakdown. A board battle involving four players saw Lafferty knock the puck to winger Taylor Raddysh before Lafferty slipped undetected behind three Kings defenders. Lafferty induced Quick to bite on his forehand and scored easily off his backhand. Raddysh’s assist gave him four points in as many games since Chicago acquired him from Tampa Bay.
