CHICAGO — There’s nothing magical about the surging Los Angeles Kings’ rise to the top of the Pacific Division. Jonathan Quick made 24 saves, Christian Folin scored the game’s first goal midway through the third period and the Kings beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 on Sunday night for their fifth straight win. Folin’s shot from the right point sailed over Anton Forsberg’s glove with Anze Kopitar screening at 9:29. Forsberg made 21 saves in his second straight start in place of Corey Crawford, who’s out with a lower-body injury. “The game’s right there for us to make the plays and have a big third period, and it turned out be a tough, tough loss,” coach Joel Quenneville said.
