Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa led the Chicago Blackhawks with three shots on goal, but they were shut out 4-0 by the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night. Hossa and Nick Leddy finished the game with a team-worst negative-two plus/minus. Chicago was 0-for-6 on the power play. The Blackhawks had a four-game run in which they buoyed a sinking ship and looked like a playoff-caliber team. But the latest two-game funk in which they've been outscored 7-1 against fringe playoff teams is a bit worrisome.
