LOS ANGELES — A lot of things would have been predicted when the struggling Chicago Blackhawks found themselves down by two goals in the third period against the Los Angeles Kings. The Blackhawks, who had lost seven consecutive road games and 11 of their last 13 overall, rallied with four third-periods goals to stun the Kings 5-3 on Saturday. Jonathan Toews broke a tie on a power-play goal with 1:58 left and a Blackhawks team out of the playoff race shocked a Kings team that had won three straight. Then with Los Angeles’ Tanner Pearson off for hooking, Toews beat Quick for his 17th of the season. “Hopefully it’s the type of thing we can keep going with that same kind of effort.”For a struggling, injury-riddled Blackhawks team, it was a much needed victory.
