Kane not focusing on 100 points
The Blackhawks haven't had a 100-point scorer since the 1993-94 season when Jeremy Roenick finished with 107.
Patrick Kane has an outside chance at reaching 100 points with 16 games to play, but it's going to take a heck of a strong finish. Kane took 74 points into Wednesday's game against Los Angeles and assisted on Patrick Sharp's first-period goal.
"I'd by lying to you to say I wouldn't be thinking about it," Kane said. "You do think about it, about having a good stretch. But if you worry about that too much it sinks in a little bit and you don't play as well.
"For me personally, I just have to worry about playing the game hard and trying to make something happen and be determined to make something happen every shift. Then that stuff will taker care of itself."
In his third season, Kane already has surpassed previous career highs of 25 goals and 72 points. Kane was excited to be playing Wednesday on Denis Savard Heritage Night.
"He's been so supportive throughout my whole career, whether it's as a coach or right now as a friend," said Kane, who broke down and cried when Savard was fired as Hawks coach four games into last season. "Even this year, I went to lunch with him and talked to him about different things and how to play the game. He's a guy you can definitely learn from."
A Doughty fan: Kings 20-year-old defenseman Drew Doughty has opened everyone's eyes with his Norris Trophy-caliber play this season.
Hawks defenseman Duncan Keith has a new appreciation for Doughty after being paired with him for most of the Olympics with Team Canada.
"He's still learning the game - I think we all are - but to see what he does now in the NHL now at 20 is pretty unbelievable," Keith said. "He reads the play really well, he moves the puck good and his offensive instincts are just as good as anybody."
Full lineup: With Adam Burish returning after missing the first 65 games of the season because of knee surgery and Brent Sopel back following three games on the shelf (lower body), the Hawks had a full and healthy 23-man roster for the first time all season.
Forwards Tomas Kopecky and Colin Fraser and defenseman Jordan Hendry were the healthy scratches against the Kings.
"We have 14 guys (at forward) and every one of them deserves to be playing," coach Joel Quenneville said.
Quenneville kept together the third line of John Madden, Kris Versteeg and Andrew Ladd after their strong game against Detroit. Burish centered the fourth line for Dustin Byfuglien and Ben Eager.
