Blackhawks race to 2-0 lead with win over Kings

BRYAN Bickell and Michal Handzus scored with consecutive shots in the second period as the Chicago Blackhawks earned a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.

Andrew Shaw and Brent Seabrook also scored as the rolling Blackhawks grabbed a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series with their fifth consecutive victory. Patrick Sharp added two assists, and Corey Crawford made 29 saves in another solid performance.

Game 3 is tonight in Los Angeles, where the Kings have won 14 consecutive games dating to the regular season. The Kings also lost their first two games of the playoffs at St. Louis before winning four straight to eliminate the Blues in the first round.

Jeff Carter and Tyler Toffoli scored for Los Angeles, but the Kings struggled to score while playing without Mike Richards, who was scratched because of an undisclosed upper body injury. The defending Stanley Cup champions have 29 goals in 15 postseason games.

Richards was sidelined after taking a big hit on Saturday.
