Blackhawks Blast Kings

Dylan Strome had two goals and assisted on linemate Alex DeBrincat's score to help the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-1 on Sunday to end a four-game skid.

 

DeBrincat set up both of Strome's goals as the two former offensive whizzes of Ontario Hockey League's Erie Otters clicked again and sparked Chicago's attack.

 

David Kampf and Drake Caggiula also scored as the Blackhawks bounced back after they were shut out in Carolina on Saturday and managed just two goals in their previous three games.

 

Robin Lehner made 38 saves and lost a bid for his first shutout with Chicago when Sean Walker scored early in the third period.

 

Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook was a healthy scratch for the second time in his career.

 

Rookie Dennis Gilbert took the spot of the 15-year-veteran, who has one goal, no assists and is a minus-5 in nine games.

 

Jack Campbell blocked 21 shots as Los Angeles lost its third straight and second in two nights, after falling 5-1 at Minnesota on Saturday.

 

The Blackhawks are at Nashville on Tuesday night.
