GAME RECAP

Strome started his big night right away in the 2:33 of the first as DeBrincat found him off the rush on the left side. The center-turned-winger fired a quick wrister past Jack Campbell for a 1-0 lead.

The Blackhawks took a commanding lead with a three-goal middle frame.
David Kampf struck first with his first of the season at 2:26 of the second. Dominik Kubalik found Alex Nylander from a scrum on the boards. Nylander slid a pass across the slot while falling to a wide-open Kampf, who beat Campbell to the near side.

Strome found his second of the night at 15:55 of the period, once again from DeBrincat. The latter forced a turnover and walked out from behind the goal to find the former cruising through the slot with a backhand pass. Strome beat Campbell glove side for his first two-goal performance since April 1 against Winnipeg.

Serving as Strome's set-up man twice, DeBrincat had the favor returned as Strome threw a no-look pass into the slot that DeBrincat reached, caught and fired a shot in a one motion for a 4-0 Blackhawks lead at 19:02.

The Kings would break the shutout at 3:35 of the third as Sean Walker found the net with a one-timer from the top of the circle.
Late in the game, Drake Caggiula added a fifth for Chicago, his third of the season off a deflection in front at 17:53 of the third period.
