Blackhawks rally from 3-0 deficit to beat Stars
Patrick Kane and Max Domi scored two goals apiece and the Chicago Blackhawks overcame a three-goal deficit to beat the Stars, 4-3, at Dallas on Wednesday night.
Playing without the Western Conference lead for the first time in more than a month, the Central Division-leading Stars lost their fourth consecutive game — the past two against last-place teams — and have just two wins in 10 games.
The Central cellardwelling Blackhawks won their fourth in a row, rallying from a 3-0 deficit in the second period. The first two goals came when Kane and Domi assisted on each other's tallies. Both finished with three points, and Seth Jones had two assists against his hometown team.
Jakob Pelletier and Walker Duehr scored goals 25 seconds apart in the third period and Calgary rallied to win at Arizona.
Milan Lucic, Elias Lindholm, Tyler Toffoli and Mikael Backlund also scored for the Flames in their first game at Mullett Arena in
Tempe. They outshot the Coyotes 52-14.
Calgary went up 4-3 with 15:07 left on Pelletier's second goal of the season. Arizona's Matias Maccelli had been penalized for tripping. Just 26 seconds later, Duehr made it 5-3 with his third goal.
Simon Holmstrom scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and Ilya Sorokin made 24 saves to lead New York over visiting Winnipeg. Sebastian Aho also scored for New York, which won for the third time in four games and extended its winning streak against Winnipeg to six games, dating to March 28, 2019.
OVECHKIN RETURNS TO CAPS >> Alex Ovechkin is back with the Washington Capitals, eager to play hockey again while he and his family are still mourning the death of his father, Mikhail.
Ovechkin missed four games over the past week to fly to Moscow. He went straight from the airport to the team's practice facility Wednesday after landing to take part in practice with an eye on returning to game action as soon as today.
