Blackhawks vs. Kings | NHL Highlights | December 04, 2025
as the Ducks were trounced last night by Utah down
the road at the Honda Center. And then Chicago in that log jam of the Central. They’re right
now in fifth in the division. A point back of Utah in seven behind Minnesota, the Surging Wild,
who are third in the Central, held in by Chicago. Swept down low by Terrain. And our starting
lineups brought to you by American Express and the unorthodox, but it’s been the regular for Jeff
Lashel this season. Going with 11 forwards and 7D, the standard 126 for Jim Hiller and LA from the
boards. A shot and a save. Now the Blackhawks look to move out for can’t control it along the wall.
Centering pass and a shot saved by Knight. Here is Anderson. One-time and a glove save by Knight.
Hangs on as Fiala up high for LA. Pressure loose in the circle and coming out of the zone. Here
is Andre Barakovski sends it wide. Ryan Green. Keer couldn’t find it initially then found it.
And the Kings jump on and they move out of the zone. Here is Lefair. Plays it back toward his net
minder and steered over by Keer. Pass intercepted. Centering pass on a backhand missing high
and wide and Donado a good chance inside for Chicago. Centering pass glove out shot
saved by Keer. Rebound and Keer jumps on it and a face off in the LA zone. To the bench
here now. I think he took a stick up high but he gives away the pucker. You can see him
trying to adjust his visor in front but that giveaway just leads to all kinds of chances
for the Chicago Blackhawks. And look at Keer. Two saves there in a row as Donado gets a second
chance opportunity. And if cycles it down low for Perry behind the net trying to post up against
Mao. Few games later. Maybe he’ll go down. No, he’s stayed up and played every game since. It
brings a ton of speed and energy to this group. Saved by Keer off a drive from Sam Renzel,
the young defenseman. Now here comes Arma for LA. Plays it off for Biffield. The trailer.
Here is Edmonson. Top of the circle. throws it to the net and a kick save by Knight. Good
point for Kaiser. Swings it across to Murphy. Back at the line to Murphy. Shot glove save
hanging on as Keer and a hand jammed out of the zone by Moore. Here is Donado lifting it across
the line. Doc top of the circle tries to cut in and a kick save by Keer. Here is Warren Fogle back
in line up for LA with a turnover. Doc top of the circle shot and a blocker saved by Keer and a good
stick by Philip Deno but LA gives it right back to the point shot and Keer swallows it
up and holds on. Turkot leads it. Deno can’t handle the puck. Poked away as Renzel a
good stick and it’s tipped on net and steered aside by Knight. Shot penalty coming up
and the Kings will be the benefactors. The centering pass and swinging a miss by Perry.
Here is Dumlin at the point for LA. Back skates it to the blue line. Moving in. Brian Dumalan. Shot
from the angle. Perry tries to jam it in back door and that goes off the back glass after a save by
Knight. Extra power play time. Deno to the blue line to Kopitar. Here is Deno. Extra attacker on
for LA. Exchanging up top. Dumalin. Here is Deno along the half wall. Centers for Perry. Drags it
back out off for Dublin on the wing. Dublin peels away from Bertusi. Here is Terry. Tease it up and
a save by Knight. Chrisa held up at the blue line and poked out of the zone by Krebier for Chicago.
Short-handed Dickinson for the Blackhawks. Shot and a save and squeezing it. And Keer hangs on
for a faceoff in the King zone. Nashville with a big win over Calgary. How about Calgary in the
first period against Minnesota tonight, three high sticking penalties. One of them ended up being a
double miner. Pass in front of a back hand and a save by Knight who covers top of the circle and
that one never got through from Blic who gets it back. Plays it behind the net. Here is Barard
down low centering and a save by Keer. Brilliant chance for the Blackhawks. An even better save
by Darcy Keer to keep it a scoreless game. And that’s been him all year, every single
game. How many one-goal games have the Kings played in? Paris shot saved by Knight. Across the
LA line, centers less bumps it over the corner as Barakovsky and him were not on the same page.
Here is Green to the blue line. Shot through traffic. Blocker saved Keer. Here comes Biffield.
Stick handling through traffic at the blue line. Walking in Clark. Clark shot saved by Knight with
the blocker. Nobody picked up the guy with the puck there for Chicago. Here is Lefer. Steers it
across. Clark had it poked away by Blick inside. Two and a half to go in this. First period in
LA. In 15 seconds, Bard will come out and the Blackhawks will have an abbreviated power play as
Lesnov missing high and wide off the back glass. Terravine in for Chicago. Here is Kempe taking
the one-time. Kempe loads up now down low for Fia. Here is Clark at the blue line across. One-time
whistled wide by Kusmeo. Rebound and Fiala has it blocked in front. Down low. Kopitar. A shot save
and covering is Knight for Chicago. Banked ahead. Perry plays it back to his own end. The turnover.
Naser cuts in and he misses wide of the net. Boy, what a golden chance off a turnover for Naser and
the Blackhawks. Nazar just put it wide. Blocker aside by Knight. You play with three centermen.
You get Vard out there a little bit more. And as a forward, everybody’s happy. Yeah, Vard has
the second most ice time for the Blackhawks. And a save by Knight. Banked ahead. Here comes
Doc for Chicago. Lays it into the corner. Loose puck jumping on it and a save by Keer
off a drive from Krevier cutting in from the right point now to Dumalan. Delays pressured by
Donado. Turns the puck over. Dickinson cuts in for the Blackhawk. Shot hit the post. Loose puck
and then gloved and held on to by Keer. Boy, that was a drive that hit the post and a lucky
bounce. Kemper. A little tap to his defenseman Cody Cece. There you see the pressure of Donado
on Brian Jumlan forces the turnover. Look at this wind up of Jason Dickinson. The gap is a little
too far for Cece to step up and make a better play on this. You know what he does? He just steps to
the side a little bit. It was a wicked shot that just goes off the post off the face off thrown on
net and a save by Keer as McKay off the draw had a chance. Former Leaf going wide around Anderson
hits the brakes looking for help. Plays it across. Flick shot and that one gets tipped aside as it
may have gotten through to Keer. Here is Flick at the line. Walks in. the big defenseman down
low and McKay a shot and a save by Keer that has metastasized to his liver since then has undergone
radiation, chemo, multiple surgeries and he was here dropping the puck for him out the puck in the
net and stumbling over Keer and putting it in is Bard and it’s one- nothing on the power play goal
for Chicago. But they go to work here right away on the power play. You know, something the Kings
could take a a page out of this book. Some down low play on the power play. And watch Bedar just
sneaks in from that bumper position with perfect timing. Gets his stick open. Nazar gets the second
assist. So it’s Bard from Bertusi and Nazar. And that one swallowed up by Knight and a faceoff.
Dumlan pinching in. Here is more at the line. Lost the puck. Here comes Baddard. Conor Baddard wants
it. Saved by Keer. Baddard from the angle was a little out of gas. Head to the bench. Needing a
change. MCV. And that one’s held on to by Keer. Another save for Darcy Keer. Another great chance
for LA. And a golden opportunity. And Deno just couldn’t put it home. Centering pass. Fanning
on the one-time. Nazar. score. Wyatt Kaiser and there’s no goal. And then it goes the other
way. The clock is winding down. You think it’s going to be able to get it out of your zone. Nope.
It’s a turnover by Dublin. And what happens? It ends up in the back of your net. And the defense
for the Chicago Blackhawks have been activated. The problem for Jim Hitler in LA, Cass, they
are so structured and regimented the way they play. They’re down two nothing to a team with
so much speed is hitting the post with Fialo from the circle. When you do a nice job, you
get the puck in, you win the opening faceoff, you set the tone, dump it in, and then you get
to work. And they get to work and they’re able to get a great scoring chance. You got two guys
in physical aria by fields physical and boom, it’s off the post. And those are the
bounces that the LA Kings just aren’t getting at this point. But you’ve
got to stick with that process. Loose puck in the slot. Clark has it
knocked away. Here come the Blackhawks racing up ice. Donado walks in. Missed
the net with a shot. Here comes Bedard for Chicago. Tries to dangle it through
Moore who takes the puck away. Pass too far out in front of Fogle. Fogle wins the race
to the puck. Fogle on a back hand. More score. Renzel in front and there’s a turnover in the
neutral zone by Vard. A nice gap and back pressure from the LA Kings. And then Fogle gets to work and
he just outmuscles Blastic which we haven’t seen happen all night. He’s been excellent. finds
that puck and finds Trevor Moore. Watch it go off the shin pad straight there for it goes
straight to inside. 3 minutes to go. Keeper leaves it for Doubting. The Blackhawks have
lost eight of their last five onegoal games, leading by a goal length to third. Viala goes
wide. Top angle shot. Save by Knight again. Point blank. Spencer Knight. Yeah. And after
Spencer Knight makes the first save, it’s almost like he loses sight of the puck a little bit.
takes this bad angle shot from Fialo that was a little tricky to handle and it goes right out
to the slot. It doesn’t even have enough. Harry can’t get a handle on it. Now Kreb takes it over
the corner. Tries to tie it up along the wall. Kings tried to poke it free and Chicago is able
to chew out the clock and hang on for a 2-1

So many empty seats. If only tickets were cheaper so people could actually go and support their team and create an atmosphere…
Knight with another excellent game!
And of course Bedard keeps rolling 💪
