Despite their recent hot streak, the Kings still have the fewest wins (14) and points (30) in the NHL. They also have allowed a league-high 131 goals.

On Sunday, the Kings posted a 3-2 overtime triumph over the Blackhawks. Dustin Brown provided the winner when he scored with 1:29 left in overtime.

"Our goal is to wear down other teams," said Brown, who in his fourth season in the league. "The last two wins we came back in the third and wore on teams."

Rookies Jonathan Toews and Jacob Dowell scored in regulation for Chicago, which had its four-game winning streak stopped. Toews leads all NHL rookies with 15 goals and is second only to teammate Patrick Kane in points by a first-year player.

The Blackhawks' first-round draft picks of the last five years - Kane (2007), Toews (2006), Jack Skille (2005), Cam Barker (2004) and Brent Seabrook (2003) - played in Sunday's game.
