 Patrick Kane and Artem Anisimov each recorded a goal and an assist
during a three-goal third period as the Blackhawks erased a deficit
and halted the Kings' seven-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory
Tuesday. St. Louis suffered the wrath of Los Angeles on Tuesday,
losing a 3-0 decision to end its three-game winning streak despite
the return of Vladimir Tarasenko. The 23-year-old Russian, who leads
the Blues in goals (six) and points (10), was back in the lineup
after missing one game with a lower-body injury but was unable to
keep the Blues from suffering the only regulation loss on their
five-game homestand (3-1-1). St. Louis won three of its five
meetings with the Blackhawks last season, including one of two in
Chicago.

ABOUT THE BLUES (8-3-1): Tarasenko registered a team high-tying four
shots on goal against Los Angeles but posted a minus-2 rating in 20
minutes, 47 seconds of ice time. St. Louis was shut out for the
second time this season, as it also was blanked by the Canadiens in
Montreal on Oct. 20. Defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk skated Tuesday but
remains day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS (7-5-0): Marko Dano made his debut with Chicago
on Monday, registering one shot in 11:11 of ice time. The
20-year-old Austrian, who was acquired from Columbus in the
offseason deal for Brandon Saad, recorded eight goals and 13 assists
in 35 games with the Blue Jackets last campaign - his first in the
NHL. Captain Jonathan Toews has scored five goals in his last five
games after being blanked over his first seven contests this season.
