The visiting Chicago Blackhawks got all three of their goals from former NCAA players on Saturday night in Los Angeles, but still came up on the short end of a 4-3 score at the Staples Center in an NHL semifinal postseason contest.
Jonathan Toews (North Dakota) staked the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks to a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes with two goals in the first period. The host Kings then scored four unanswered goals before Patrick Sharp (Vermont) managed to tip a shot past Los Angeles netminder Jonathan Quick (UMass) with three seconds remaining in regulation for the final margin.
Los Angeles now leads the best-of-seven series, two games to one. Game 4 is slated for Monday night in California at 9 p.m. ET.
