HIGH FIVE
Chicago forwards Marian Hossa (2-4—6) and Michal Handzus (2-3—5) both extended their point streaks to five games. For Hossa, the five-game streak matches the longest of his postseason career (also accomplished in 2002 as a member of the Senators). For Handzus, who was acquired by the Blackhawks just prior to the 2013 Trade Deadline, the five-game stretch is the longest of his playoff career.

QUICK END
Los Angeles goaltender Jonathan Quick was pulled midway through the second period after allowing four goals on 17 shots. He had not been pulled from a game (regular season or playoffs) since March 14 at San Jose, a stretch of 30 consecutive starts. Quick had not been pulled from a postseason game since April 23, 2010, at Vancouver, a stretch of 41 straight playoff starts.

STREAKS SNAPPED
Sunday’s game marked the end of two record streaks by the Kings: the team’s 34-game postseason stretch of not allowing more than three goals and Jonathan Quick’s individual record of the same number. The team mark was seven games longer than previous record of 27, set by Detroit from 2002 to 2006. Quick’s individual streak was six starts longer than the old record of 28, set by Montreal’s Patrick Roy from 1992 to 1994. The last time the Kings or Quick allowed more than three goals in a playoff game was April 25, 2011, when Los Angeles lost, 4 3, in overtime to San Jose in Game 6 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
