Kings visit Blackhawks for clash between West powers
Hockey Betting Lines
03/10/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two of the Western Conference's best teams will meet
tonight in the Windy City as the Chicago Blackhawks host the Los Angeles Kings
at United Center.
The Blackhawks are first in the Central Division and second in the West with
91 points. Meanwhile, Los Angeles is one of the league's biggest surprises
this year and is currently third in the Pacific and fifth in the conference
with 82 points.
The Kings and Blackhawks have split two meetings this year with each club
winning on its home ice. The teams have split the last six encounters overall,
but LA has lost three straight and four of its last five in Chicago.
Los Angeles avoided a third straight loss its last time out by posting a
convincing home victory Monday against Columbus.
Jonathan Quick needed to stop just 11 shots for his third shutout of the
season and Los Angeles scored four first-period goals on its way to a 6-0 rout
of the Blue Jackets.
"Mentally it can be a bit of a battle to stay focused a full 60 minutes, but
the team played great the whole game," Quick said. "It was real easy for me.
We had some big goals, and it was just a great game."
Alexander Frolov had a goal and three assists while Michal Handzus and Fredrik
Modin each added a goal and an assist for the Kings.
Kings leading scorer Anze Kopitar recorded an assist to push his point streak
to seven games. The Slovenian star has four goals and three assists during the
tear and leads all LA skaters with 68 points this year.
LA is 20-12-1 as the guest this year, but has lost two of its last three road
games. The Kings will cap a brief two-game swing Friday night in Dallas.
Meanwhile, the Blackhawks are completing a four-game homestand this evening.
Chicago, which is 25-7-2 as the host this year, opened this residency with
back-to-back wins before getting dealt a close regulation loss by Detroit
Sunday. Andrew Ladd posted a hat trick for Chicago in the 5-4 loss, which saw
the Red Wings score all five of their goals in the second period.
The first three-goal game of Ladd's career wasn't enough for Chicago. Duncan
Keith had the other goal for the Blackhawks, who lead Nashville by 14 points
for first place in the Central.
Cristobal Huet started in net for Chicago and got pulled after yielding four
goals on 17 shots. Antti Niemi made seven saves the rest of the way.
Patrick Kane had an assist in the loss and extended his point-scoring streak
to eight games. He has four goals and nine helpers during the stretch.
