Chicago Blackhawks and Los Angeles Kings head-to-head record
In the last five meetings between the two teams, the Kings have won three of them, while the Blackhawks have won two. The Kings' offense has been more reliable, as seen by their recent 3-1 victory on March 21, 2025, and their impressive victories of 6-2 and 5-4 in 2024.
However, the Blackhawks showed their ability to take charge when their forwards are doing well with a resounding 5-1 victory earlier this season. This next game might go any way, but if the Kings keep up their strong defense and well-balanced offense, they might defeat the Blackhawks in another close game.
