The Blackhawks, elated by snapping their four-game losing streak against the Los Angeles Kings which led captain Nick Foligno To give his take on Ryan Donato's shootout goal.

The goal itself was fantastic as Donato fake out Kings goaltender Darcy Kuemper which led him to be out of position and Donato shoveling the puck right around him. The bench went berserk as the team felt the weight on their shoulders being lifted a little.

Foligno who was in his first year as Blackhawks captain continues to show why the choice was made as he continues to build up his teammates and show the leadership that he had when he was captain of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

«It's not the way we want to draw it up, but we got the result, which is what we've been talking about,» Foligno said. «We obviously know we can play better and need to play better, but to find a way to come back in this game and get it done is a testament to the guys in here."

The 37-year-old captain has been in the league since 2006 when he was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the first round 28th pick overall. He has had several stops in his career including the senators, Blue Jackets, Bruins, Maple Leafs and the Blackhawks.
