Kings continue to own Hawks
Chicago Blackhawks (26-12-8) @ Los Angeles Kings (19-20-7)
5 – 2 Loss
Game 2 on the road trip and the Hawks play the LA Kings. Usually a tough team or the Hawks, and this time around was no exception. The Kings seem to bring the worst out in the Hawks.
This was just one of those games the Hawks didn’t bring their “A” game. Not much to write on. Huet was in goal, nothing spectacular. Defense – average. Offense – average. The Hawks didn’t really get anything going until the 3rd, and by that time it was too late.
The Hawks really need to return from this road trip with at least 9 or 10 points. After tonight’s game, the Hawks sit at 4th, 2 points behinds Calgary (3rd) and 7 points ahead of Phoenix and Anaheim (53 points).
Write this one off – Game 3 is still in California against San Jose.
