Blackhawks 3, Jets 1
CHICAGO -- Right winger Patrick Kane increased his point streak to a franchise record 22 games, and the Chicago Blackhawks held on for a 3-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night.
Right winger Marian Hossa scored a goal and collected an assist. Left wingers Teuvo Teravainen and Artemi Panarin also scored for Chicago (14-9-4).
Left winger Chris Thorburn scored the lone goal for the Jets. The loss snapped a two-game winning streak for Winnipeg (13-13-2).
Kane earned an assist on Panarin's empty-net goal with 1:46 to go in the third period to maintain his point streak. Kane surpassed the franchise record set by Bobby Hull, who garnered a point in 21 straight games during the 1971-72 season. Hull applauded from his seat as Kane broke the record.
Chicago goaltender Corey Crawford stopped 30 of 31 shots to improve to 12-7-2.
Winnipeg goaltender Michael Hutchinson turned aside 29 of 31 shots.
The score was even at 1 when Teravainen gave Chicago the lead 21 seconds into the third period. Teravainen ripped a sharp-angle shot from the right side of the crease for his fifth goal of the season and his first since Nov. 4 against St. Louis.
Chicago opened the scoring when Hossa knocked in a rebound with 2:04 to go in the first period. Defenseman Brent Seabrook hit a fluttering shot from the blue line that Hutchinson could not corral, and Hossa capitalized in front of the net for his fifth goal of the season and the 491st of his career.
Winnipeg evened the score at 1 when Thorburn roofed a shot against the top of the net with 14:26 remaining in the second period. Thorburn's shot initially was not ruled a goal, but officials reviewed the play about a minute later and determined that the puck crossed the goal line.
The Blackhawks thought they scored midway through the first period, but officials waved off the goal after a video review determined that center Marcus Kruger kicked the puck past the goal line.
Chicago defenseman Trevor Daley left the game with 9:16 to go in the second period after Thorburn inadvertently kneed him in the head.
