Quick made 38 saves to earn his NHL-leading fifth shutout, and Trent Hunter and Jarret Stoll scored to lead the Kings past the Chicago Blackhawks 2-0 on Wednesday night. Quick was solid in earning his 19th NHL shutout, but he wasn’t heavily tested until the third period. The Blackhawks managed few prime scoring chances in the first two frames.

Chicago Blackhawks Coach Joel Quenneville did not think either of the Kings' goals should have counted Wednesday night at the United Center. If they hadn't, the teams still might be playing, as the Blackhawks couldn't solve Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick.

Backed by a sterling 38-save shutout performance by goalie Jonathan Quick – whose dad was in the stands as part of the team's fathers' trip – the Kings left the Madhouse on Madison with a hard-earned 2-0 victory against the Hawks, who'd won five straight on home ice coming into the game and had a 6-0-1 record at home this month.

"I thought both their goals should have been whistled down, both goals should have been called something … infractions on both their goals," Quenneville said. "Clearly, the refereeing was tough to watch. But we still had a lot of chances at the other end and unfortunately you're not going to win the game when you don't score a goal."

“That took four lines, six D and a goalie. That was a big effort by everybody. I thought we were outplaying them there in the first two periods. We were getting the better of them, because of which we jumped out to a two-goal lead there. You know that when you come into this building, it’s only a matter of time before they put pressure on you and create chances. That’s a talented group over there. We were fortunate to weather the storm and get out of here with two points.’’ – Jonathan Quick, on shutting out the high-powered Blackhawks.

“I’d have been really, really, really upset if that didn’t go in, because I missed a couple really good chances. But I was happy that Stolly finished it off for me. It made me feel good because, as I said, that was a really big goal, getting that cushion for us at the start of the third.’’ – Justin Williams, on his line’s effort on Stoll’s goal.

“Those two guys [Fraser and Clifford] did a good job of getting to the net. I just threw it there. They were able to keep it alive, banging and crashing away. I kind of looped around the net and it was laying there. It definitely wouldn’t have happened without Cliffy and Fraz in there, creating havoc and keeping the play alive. They worked really hard for that one.’’  Trent Hunter on his goal.

"Actually, the Los Angeles Kings for the last two years have been awesome (on the penalty kill)," Sutter said. "The best part of their game has been their penalty kill when you look at it. I haven't done (anything) to it quite honestly. I just used two or three different guys, but they're so well-schooled in it that they just go by example and away they go." – Coach Darryl Sutter, on the team's penalty kill.

"It's disappointing we couldn't find a way to take advantage of some of those chances at the end, but it is what it is. Give (Quick) credit. He's a good goaltender. He was making some big stops out there that … we felt that the puck just wouldn't go in tonight and that trend kept going in the third period. It's frustrating when they don't go in. When you get shut out at home, you don't want to lose that way." – Jonathan Toews, on Quick's performance.

“It seemed like they worked a little bit harder and they maybe didn’t give up as much offensively for us. I think that team has got a lot of good players over there, a lot of skill. They should be competing with teams like us.” – Patrick Kane, on the game.
