The Los Angeles Kings face a tough challenge in avoiding a season-high third straight loss on Monday night as they are set to visit the reigning champion Chicago Blackhawks. Watch the game on TSN2 starting at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. The Kings have lost back-to-back games for just the fourth time this season and have done so in regulation for the first time since Oct. 4-7, their second and third games of the season. They had won nine of their first 10 in December prior to setbacks against Dallas and Nashville. Los Angeles began a four-game trip on Saturday with a visit to the Predators and lost a wild 3-2 decision. Nashville went ahead by a goal on Mike Fishers power-play tally with 3:18 left to play in the third before Jeff Carter tied the contest for the Kings, one-timing a feed from Anze Kopitar with goaltender Ben Scrivens on the bench and 36.7 seconds left on the clock. Nashville, though, scored just 10 seconds later as Fisher sent a shot that Scrivens got a piece of but couldnt prevent from crossing the goal line. The play was reviewed and the goal call on the ice stood. "They got one late, we tried to get another one late, but we gotta be better five-on-five," said Kings defenseman Jake Muzzin. Scrivens stopped 28 shots for the Kings, while Kopitar had a power-play goal. Carter, meanwhile, has five goals and five assists over his last eight games. Rookie Martin Jones could get the start tonight for Los Angeles after losing for the first time in nine starts last Monday versus Dallas. He gave up four goals on 23 shots, falling to 8-1-0 with a 1.31 goals against average and .953 save percentage. Los Angeles did not have much luck on its side when it visited Chicago for the first time this season on Dec. 15, falling in defeat 3-1. It marked the first meeting between the clubs since the Blackhawks knocked off the Kings in five games during last seasons Western Conference finals. The Blackhawks got first-period goals from Marian Hossa, Kris Versteeg and Patrick Sharp as well as 21 saves by rookie Antti Raanta in besting the Kings for the third time in the past four regular-season meetings. Chicago has also won eight of its last 11 at home versus Los Angeles in the regular season. The Blackhawks come into this meeting 4-0-2 in their last six games but also off a tough 6-5 shootout loss to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday. Chicago failed to hold a pair of two-goal leads and allowed the Blues to force bonus time by scoring twice during a 1:17 span late in the third period. Raanta made 20 saves, but was beaten three times in the shootout. "Great hockey game. Great intensity. It was good for the sport, tough for us," said Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville, whose club is 13-3-3 in its last 19 overall. Patrick Kane picked up a goal and two assists for the Blackhawks, while Sharp, Andrew Shaw, Brandon Saad and Brent Seabrook all lit the lamp in defeat. Kane has a point in 14 straight games, amassing eight goals and 16 assists over that run, and in 27 of his last 28 contests. The forward is among the league leaders this season with 23 goals and 53 points. Sharp, coming off a hat trick in Fridays win over Colorado, has six goals in his last three games. Injured Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford may return from a lower-body ailment by the end of the week, meaning Raanta may yet get the call again tonight to face the Kings for a second time. The rookie is 9-1-3 with a 2.38 GAA in 14 games (12 starts) this season. Cheap Air Max Online .

Napoli hit two home runs, Jonny Gomes and prized rookie Xander Bogaerts also connected, and the Red Sox kept up their dizzying scoring spree at Yankee Stadium by bashing New York 13-9 Saturday for a fifth straight win.SALT LAKE CITY -- Nick Young gave the Lakers a reason to smile near the end of this gloomy season. Young scored a season-high 41 points and helped Los Angeles snap a seven-game losing streak with a 119-104 victory against the Utah Jazz on Monday night. The mercurial guard bounced around the court, playing full-throttle. "You have to find the joy even when you may be frustrated with the way things have been going," Young said. Coach Mike DAntoni said: "Nick is fun, a good guy in the sense that he is always laughing and smiling,". "He can get his shot off of anybody and when he gets on rolls, he uncanny in how he can score." Jodie Meeks had 23 points and Jordan Hill added 21 for Lakers, who had only eight healthy players. Alec Burks scored 22 points and Gordon Hayward had 21 points for Utah. Enes Kanter had 19 points and 12 rebounds and Trey Burke chipped in 17 for the Jazz, who have lost 10 of 11 games. The game was tied at 86 after the third quarter, and then the Lakers found their range. Los Angeles outscored the Jazz 33-18 and the Utah players heard a mix of cheers and boos as the clock expired in their last home game of the season. Los Angeles converted Utahs 18 largely unforced turnovers into 29 points and outrebounded the Jazz 21-12 in the second half. "They were turnovers that didnt give us a chance to get back and make stops. They made us pay," Utah coach Ty Corbin said. Young fought through ball denials to get off shots all over the court -- jumpers and acrobatic drives to the baskets. He yelled at the crowd and bobbed his head, flashing a variety of hand signals after swishing 3s. "Hey Swaggy P can play a little bit and I just want you people to see that. I got a future. I can do my thing, Im telling you all. Better watch out for me," Young said, referencing his self-proclaimed alter-ego. Three late misses stopped him short of his career-high of 43 points. "That was tough. It was great to have my teammates and my coach try and help me out there. I wish I had those last few shots back," Young said. In recent days, the teams were loocked in a battle for lottery seeding and a better chance at one of the top four picks in the 2014 draft.ddddddddddddThe Jazz seem to have solidified the fourth slot and may match their club-worst 24-58 record in 1979-80, the first season after the franchise moved from New Orleans to Utah. The Lakers have no reason to tank for a better lottery seed as most will be elsewhere next season. A dozen of the 15 players on the roster could be free agents, including Young if he opts out of his $1.2 million deal for next season. The Jazz started the presumed core of their future -- Hayward, Derrick Favours, Kanter, Burks and Burke -- for the third time this season but all three games have ended in late-game collapses and losses. The Lakers have already set a record for most losses in a season, the worst since the NBA went to an 82-game slate. They will miss the playoffs for the just the second time in two decades but this win stopped them short of their first eight-game skid since March 2005. "Were not last place now," Young said. "Were not quitters." DAntoni and Corbin are both rumoured to be on their way out and the game resembled a pre-season contest with porous defences, lots of broken plays and sloppy turnovers. The lack of defensive intensity did lead to excellent accuracy as the Lakers hit 55 per cent of their field goals and the Jazz shot 52 per cent from the floor. The Jazz led by as many as 13 points before the Lakers closed the half on a 19-2 run, powered by Meeks nine points. "Early on we struggled, but thats basketball. We knew we were going to make some runs," Meeks said. NOTES: A significant portion of crowd was dressed in gold and out-cheered the home crowd as the Lakers rallied to take the lead at the end of the first half and opened a big advantage in the fourth quarter. . Not one of the Lakers that started this game was in the lineup of the opening game of the season. . Burke, Burks, Kanter, Favours, Jeremy Evans, and Rudy Gobert are the only players with guaranteed contracts with the Jazz for next season. . Kendall Marshall had 2 points and 15 assists for the Lakers.
