Wyatt Kaiser scores as the Chicago Blackhawks stop a 3-game slide, topping the Los Angeles Kings 2-1
CHICAGO -- Wyatt Kaiser snapped a third-period tie, Spencer Knight made 25 saves and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Chicago stopped a three-game slide while improving to 3-4-0 on a seven-game homestand. Roman Kantserov scored in the second, and the Blackhawks killed off a double-minor penalty on defenseman Sam Rinzel for high-sticking.
Kaiser picked up his first goal of the season at 7:17, beating Anton Forsberg through the goaltender's legs with a well-placed shot from the left circle. It was the 11th goal for the defenseman in 187 career games.
Samuel Helenius scored for Los Angeles in the finale of a 3-2-0 trip. Forsberg stopped 25 shots.
Kings captain Drew Doughty and forward Corey Perry were scratched after they played in Monday nights 6-3 victory over the New York Rangers .
The Blackhawks played without defenseman Bowen Byram , who missed his fifth consecutive game with an upper-body injury.
Los Angeles got off to a fast start. Jared Wright 's shot trickled past Knight, and Helenius poked it home at 2:31 for his first goal of the season.
The Kings carried their 1-0 lead deep into the second period. But Joel Armia was whistled for tripping at 14:26 and interference at 16:29, and Connor Bedard set up Kantserov for the rookie's team-high fifth goal at 16:40.
The Blackhawks are 4 for 39 (10.3%) on the power play in 12 games. They converted 16.9% of their chances last season, ranking 29th in the NHL.
Both teams play on Thursday night. The Kings host the Ottawa Senators , and the Blackhawks visit the Detroit Red Wings .
