LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Toews scored the go-ahead goal in the second period, Andrew Brunette also found the net and Duncan Keith had two assists, leading the Chicago Blackhawks to a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night.

Corey Crawford, 4-0 with a 1.75 goals-against average in four career starts against the Kings, made 25 saves after posting a 6-5 victory down the freeway at Anaheim on Friday. It was the first time he started on consecutive days since splitting a home-and-home set against the Dallas Stars to open the season.

The Kings lost to the Blackhawks for the seventh straight time and fourth in a row at home. Jarret Stoll ended a 17-game goal drought and Jonathan Quick stopped 25 shots. Mike Richards' goal-scoring streak ended at five games.
