LOS ANGELES - A couple of timely goals by a fourth-line forward and a pair of stellar defensive plays by one of Chicago's few healthy defensemen helped the Blackhawks move into a tie with San Jose for the Western Conference lead.
Tomas Kopecky scored twice in a 3:20 span in the third period and Antti Niemi made 17 saves for his fifth career shutout in the Blackhawks' 3-0 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.
"We know they have a good team and we focused on defense," Kopecky said. "Everything starts with the defense."
