Kings rally past Blackhawks 6-2 in Game 2
In NHL playoff action,
The Los Angeles Kings have evened their best-of-7 Western Conference final at one after thumping the Chicago Blackhawks 6-2 this morning.
The loss for Chicago is their first at home all playoffs long.
It's also most goals allowed by the Hawks in a playoff game since a 6-1 loss to Detroit in 2009.
Jeff Carter had a hat-trick for Los Angeles, who scored six-straight after trailing 2-nothing in late into the 2nd period.
Jonathan Quick made 23 saves for the Kings.
Game 3 of the series moves to Staples Center on Saturday in Los Angeles.

In NHL news off the ice,
The Vancouver Canucks have officially named Jim Benning as their new General Manager.
Benning, who played for the Canucks for a number of years, takes over for Dave Nonis, who, along with head coach John Tortarella, were sacked after the Canucks missed the playoffs this year.
One of Benning's first tasks will be to hire a new head coach.
Reports have been suggesting former Nashville bench-boss Barry Troz could be a candidate.
However, Vancouver is going to have to compete for his services with the Washington Capitals.
Troz met this week with Washington's ownership to potentially take over coaching duties, after the Caps fired sophmore coach Adam Oates after they failed to make the playoffs this year as well.
WHC quarterfinals get underway tonight
The quarter-final matchups at the World Hockey Championships get underway tonight in Minsk, Belarus.
The first game of the evening, starting at 9pm Beijing time, will see the Czech Republic take on the United States.
The US finished 2nd in Group-B with a round-robin record of 4-2-1.
The Czech Republic finished 3rd in Group-A.
Following that matchup, it will be Russia taking on an upstart French team.
While on paper, the game would seem to be heavily titled toward Russia's favor, as the Russian's finished the round-robin undefeated, France has been playing well above its pay-grade in this tournament.
The French managed to upset Canada in the round-robin, along with victories over Slovakia and Norway.
That game gets underway at 10pm tonight Beijing time.
The later games will see Canada taking on Finland, while Sweden will battle the home-team Belarussian squad.
US President Barack Obama welcomes the Seattle Seahawks to the White House
In American football news,
US President Barack Obama has welcomed the Seattle Seahawks to the White House to honour of their Super Bowl win this past season.
The Seahawks clinched their first Super Bowl victory in the history of the franchise in February by rolling over the Denver Broncos 43-8 in the league final.
Obama says he feels a certain kinship with the Seahawks.
"So let me just say as a guy who was elected President named Barack Obama, I root for the underdogs. And so seeing folks overcome the odds excites me. But it also excites me when you see the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. And that's what team is all about."
In lieu of the traditional gift of a personalised jersey, the Seahawks gave Obama a "12th Man" flag instead, representative of the raucous Seattle fans.

Scott has six top-25 finishes in his seven PGA Tour events this season.
Second-ranked Woods has said he isn't sure when he will return from his back injury.
Meanwhile, Sweden's Henrik Stenson might be able to overtake Scott this weekend if he places higher at this weekend's BMW PGA Championships in Europe than Scott does at Colonial.
In news off the links,
Former world number one Rory McIlroy has called off his engagement to Danish tennis player Caroline Wozniacki.
The split comes just days after the couple sent out wedding invitations to family and friends.
No word on why they've parted ways.
McIlroy and Wozniacki had been dating since 2011.
A number of golf observers have attributed McIlroy's slide down the rankings the past few years to the relationship, as he would often travel with Wozniaki to her tennis tournaments before taking off to compete in his own events.
