Here is Renzel center point and a shot that gets on net. They’re scoring under two goals per game at home this year. They were the best home team in the league last year as a shot kick save by Knight on the rebound set wide by Arma. 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 nose. Nope. It’s a turnover by Dulan. And what happens? It ends up in the back of her net. And the defense for the Chicago Blackhawks have been activated. Chicago has been an outstanding third period team all season. The problem for Jim Hiller 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 FIA from the circle. 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’ve got two guys in physical Arma by feels physical and as Hiller just looks for something that’s going to create a spark centers Lefarer off for Kemp in the wing shoots and a save as Knight hangs on for Chicago. Spencer Knight yet tonight classic off a skate and jumping on the puck into the zone is Bard. Bedard from the dot lifted high and wide bouncing puck. Here comes LA countering with Moore. Moore just does stay on side and it easy save for Knight. Puck gets to Berusi. Now Nazar through center into the zone. Moore top of the circle. Fought off by Keer. Loose puck.

Backhand centering pass. Nobody home. Lean off from the wing and a save and holding on is Keer for LA. Edmonson down low. FIA tried to jam it in on the doorstep and a save by Knight. That one hit the side of the cage and covering is Knight now for Cory Perry. Flips it to center bouncing into the zone into the break. Kusme shot saved by Knight. Point blank from Deno.

[Music] 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 an excellent finds that puck and finds Trevor Moore. Watch it go off the shin pads right there of Brazelle and it goes right goes off the stick of Leferier. Now Nazart again for Chicago hits the trailer. Verusi cuts in. Shot saved by Keer. The Blackhawks have lost each of their last five onegoal games. Leading by a goal length the third. Viala goes wide. Cop 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 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
