Game review

The Chicago Blackhawks beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on October 27, with the game swinging after LA opened the scoring in the first period. Chicago answered in the second and took the lead in the third, so the decisive edge came late rather than in a back-and-forth finish.

Wyatt Kaiser scored Chicago’s goal and finished with a point, while Patrick Kane added an assist. Samuel Helenius scored for Los Angeles and Andre Lee had an assist. The power play made the difference: Chicago went 1-for-3 (33.3 percent) while the Kings went 0-for-3. Chicago also narrowly outshot LA, though the Kings won 57.9 percent of faceoffs and posted more hits and blocked shots.

For bettors, the closing spread of Blackhawks -1.5 settled with the Kings covering by 0.5. The closing total of 5.5 finished under by 2.5.
