Bertuzzi’s late goal sets stage for Blackhawks to get 4-3 shootout win over Kings
LOS ANGELES — Tyler Bertuzzi scored with 31 seconds remaining in the third period, helping the Blackhawks beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 in a shootout on Saturday.
With Petr Mrazek off in favor of an extra attacker, Bertuzzi awkwardly scored from one knee off Ryan Donato's centering pass.
Connor Bedard, Teuvo Teravainen and Donato scored in the penalty shootout to get the Blackhawks a much-needed win. It was just their second victory in the past seven games.
Alex Laferriere had two goals for the Kings, who failed in their push to win four straight home games to start a season for the first time since 2010-11.
Los Angeles had won three of four. It lost 4-2 at San Jose on Tuesday.
