Coyotes send Blackhawks to 6th loss in a row › Leafs down Bolts

The Chicago Blackhawks’ longest losing streak in six years continued Monday night, this time for the benefit of the NHL’s worst team.

Max Domi, Clayton Keller, Alex Goligoski and Tobias Rieder each notched a goal and an assist while Antti Raanta made 37 saves as the Arizona Coyotes cruised to a 6-1 win over the visiting Blackhawks.

It was just the 14th victory in 56 games for Arizona, which has a league-low 38 points. However, the Coyotes led 2-0 before the first period was half-over and answered Chicago’s only goal with four unanswered markers to enjoy a rare two-point evening.

The Blackhawks fell to 0-5-1 in a six-game losing streak.

Domi got the scoring started 92 seconds into the game with his fourth goal. Jakob Chychrun ripped a shot from the left point, and Domi deflected it in the slot. The puck eluded Anton Forsberg, the start of a forgettable night for the Blackhawks goalie.

Keller made it 2-0 at 9:22, rapping in the rebound of a Derek Stepan shot for his 16th marker of the season.

Alex DeBrincat drew the Blackhawks within 2-1 on a power-play tally at 4:33 of the second period. The goal was DeBrincat’s 20th, making him the second rookie this season to reach 20.

Chicago’s momentum lasted only 2:33. With Arizona short-handed, Goligoski took a wrister at a bad angle along the left boards that squirted through Forsberg’s pads for his seventh goal.

Maple Leafs 4, Lightning 3

James van Riemsdyk broke a tie game with the game-winning goal in the third period as Toronto won its fifth straight at home, beating Tampa Bay.

William Nylander collected two goals and an assist, and Jake Gardiner had a goal and an assist for Toronto. The win was the Maple Leafs’ eighth in nine games and fourth straight. Auston Matthews had three assists for the Leafs.

Alex Killorn and Nikita Kucherov each notched a goal and an assist for Tampa Bay. Yanni Gourde had the Lightning’s other goal.

Panthers 7, Oilers 5

Vincent Trocheck scored two power-play goals in the third period, then completed the hat trick with an empty-netter as visiting Florida beat Edmonton.

Panthers goalie James Reimer buoyed his team’s shaky playoff hopes by making 27 saves in his return to action after missing six games due to a groin injury.

The Oilers, on a night when they honored the 1984-85 team that was voted the greatest in league history on the NHL’s website, received a major blow to their playoff chances.

For the Panthers, Evgenii Dadonov scored twice, his second on a third-period penalty shot that ended up being the game-winner, while Aaron Ekblad and Denis Malgin added singles. Ekblad, Malgin, Jonathan Huberdeau, Michael Matheson and Keith Yandle also had two-point nights for the visitors.

For the Oilers, Patrick Maroon and Connor McDavid collected one goal and one assist apiece, while Leon Draisaitl, also on a penalty shot, Anton Slepyshev and Drake Caggiula scored.
