Chicago late show downs Leafs

CHICAGO 5 (SO) TORONTO 4

CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks found themselves down two goals late in the third period before capitalizing on two mistakes by the Toronto Maple Leafs to force overtime and win in a shootout. Jonathan Toews and Artemi Panarin scored in the shootout to give Chicago a 5-4 win.

Artem Anisimov scored his second goal of the game on a rebound with 2:28 left to cut it to 4-3, then Richard Panik knocked in a loose puck in front of the goal 60 seconds later.

“We needed it,” Toews said. “It wasn’t pretty for a while there in the third sometimes. It looked like wherever we were going they were there and shut us down.”

But Anisimov connected as Blackhawks goalie Scott Darling was heading to the bench for an extra attacker. Darling was on the bench when Panik tied it with his team-leading sixth goal.

“We found a way to score a couple late ones,” coach Joel Quenneviille said.
