The Los Angeles Kings struck twice in less than half a minute to put the Chicago Blackhawks in an early hole Monday night.
Milan Lucic snapped one top corner on goaltender Corey Crawford to give the Kings a 2-0 lead, 18 seconds after Kris Versteeg scored his first goal with Los Angeles on a rebound in front.

Versteeg ensured himself a multi-point game with an assist on Lucic's goal after being held without a point in his first five contests with the Kings.
It was his first goal in six career games against the Blackhawks, with whom he won the Stanley Cup in 2010 and 2015.
The winger was traded to Los Angeles by the Carolina Hurricanes on deadline day.
