After a scoreless first period, DeBrincat gave the Blackhawks a 1-0 lead at 1:38 of the second period, when he skated with the puck through traffic and scored from in front of the goal past Kings goaltender Jack Campbell. It was his 41st of the season and third in the past two games.

The Kings got even at 2-2 with 4:15 remaining on Amadio's goal, his fifth. Amadio lifted a shot to the top of the goal from the slot, beating Crawford.

The Blackhawks are headed toward missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season, following a nine-year run of consecutive postseason berths, earning three Stanley Cup titles in that stretch.
