But overall, the Blackhawks’ play on the trip was solid, and it was again on Saturday as they closed out the trip with a win over the Los Angeles Kings.
The biggest surprise in this one was the fact that Dan Carcillo was a healthy scratch for the first time this season. This came after a poor performance against Anaheim, leaving John Scott to take his place among the forwards. The only reasoning for throwing Scott in is the fact that he had that brutal fight against Kevin Westgarth last year that left Westgarth bloodied.
Nonetheless, even Scott turned in a decent performance as the Hawks took a 2-1 game in LA to win their eighth straight game over the Kings.

Blackhawks rule, Kings suck donkey balls. Carcillo scratched. Let’s get to it.Mere minutes into the first, a point shot from Duncan Keith was kicked wide through a ton of traffic from Dave Bolland. Andrew Brunette would corral the puck behind the net, wrap around the back of the net and bury the wide open chance. 1-0 Hawks.The first period would end with the 1-0 score and the Hawks...
