The Chicago Blackhawks were in rally mode against the Kings for much of the night -- they fell behind 1-0, evened the game at one apiece, fell behind 2-1, and evened the score once more before heading into overtime. In extra time, neither team could find the back of the net, so they went to a shootout.
