Toews, Blackhawks hope to avenge embarrassing loss vs. Kings
Feb 23, 2008 - 2:03 PM Chicago (28-26-6) at Los Angeles (26-34-3) 4:00 pm ESTLOS ANGELES (Ticker) - Rookie Jonathan Toews and the Chicago Blackhawks hope that Saturday's meeting against the Los Angeles Kings goes better than the last one did.
In their previous meeting on New Year's Day, the 19-year-old Toews sprained his knee and the Blackhawks suffered a 9-2 setback to the Kings.
Toews did not return until February 10 and Chicago went 5-9-2 over that stretch without him, falling to the bottom of the Central Division standings.
Since his return to the lineup, Toews has two goals and five points and the Blackhawks have posted a 4-1-1 record.
Despite missing time with injury this season, Toews has still managed to tally 17 goals and 20 assists in 42 games.
Alexander Frolov notched a hat trick and Patrick O'Sullivan added four assists Thursday as Los Angeles skated to a 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues.
Frolov, who has had three three-point performances over the previous eight games, leads the club with 35 assists and 54 points on the campaign.
