CHICAGO -- Spencer Knight made 41 saves in his first game with his new team, helping the Chicago Blackhawks defeat the Los Angeles Kings 5-1 on Monday night.

Defensemen Alec Martinez and Ethan Del Mastro scored for the Blackhawks, who opened a three-game homestand with their second consecutive win. Ilya Mikheyev, Andreas Athanasiou and Ryan Donato also scored.

Knight was acquired by Chicago when it traded defenseman Seth Jones to Florida on Saturday night.

"That's a team win right there," Knight said in his postgame, on-ice interview. "That's just not one person. I've always loved coming to play here as an away opponent. But playing here as a Blackhawk is 10 times better."

Anze Kopitar scored his 14th goal for Los Angeles, which dropped its fourth straight game. Darcy Kuemper stopped 14 shots.

Mikheyev snapped a 1-1 tie with his 12th goal 46 seconds into the second period. The Blackhawks then caught a break when Del Mastro sent the puck toward the net and it went in off the left skate of Kings defenseman Jacob Moverare.

Del Mastro was credited with his second goal in 13 career games. He also scored in Chicago's 7-5 loss at Vegas on Thursday night.

The Blackhawks closed it out when Donato got an empty-netter with 1:30 left. It was Donato's 22nd goal of the season, extending his career high.

Dating back to his final three starts with the Panthers, Knight has now won four straight games.

"I want to play, and our goal is to win here," Knight said. "We're going to go to winning hockey here at some point, and that's what we're working towards."

The Kings have managed just six goals during their four-game slide.
