Khabibulin, Blackhawks aim to continue success vs. Kings

Mar 15, 2007 - 4:02 PM Chicago (26-34-9) at Los Angeles (23-34-13) 10:30 pm EDT

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) - Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin will be looking to continue his mastery of the Los Angeles Kings when the struggling clubs meet Thursday.

The netminder on Tampa Bay's 2004 Stanley Cup championship team, Khabibulin signed as a free agent with the Blackhawks in 2005. However, the veteran did not notch his first shutout with his new club until he blanked the Kings on March 6.

With the win, Khabibulin improved to 16-7-0 with a tie and six shutouts all-time against Los Angeles - his largest win total against any club.

Chicago has had its way with Los Angeles of late, going 3-0-1 in the last four meetings.

On Tuesday, the Blackhawks were gunning for their first four-game winning streak in five years but absorbed a 7-1 drubbing from San Jose.

The Kings are coming off Monday's 5-1 victory over Edmonton that ended a five-game losing streak and came hours after they were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

The teams play for the final time this season March 23 in Chicago.
