BLACKHAWKS BOUNCE BACK

CHICAGO» One day after a flurry of Boston powerplay goals doomed them, Patrick Kane and the Blackhawks tightened up and turned the tables on the Bruins.

Kane scored a tie-breaking power-play goal with 3:16 left in the third period and had an assist, and the Blackhawks beat Boston 3-1 on Sunday afternoon.

Kane scored on a screened shot from just inside the left point to put Chicago ahead 2-1 with Boston’s Zdeno Chara off for high-sticking Brandon Saad, getting a double-minor for drawing blood. Brent Seabrook added a goal from the right circle on a screened shot with 1:05 remaining — and 11 seconds after the second portion of Chara’s penalty had lapsed — as the Blackhawks ended Boston’s sixgame winning streak and their own two-game slide.

Artem Anisimov scored Chicago’s first power-play goal as the Blackhawks went 2-for-5 with the man advantage on Sunday. In a 7-4 loss at Boston on Saturday, the Bruins scored four times in six chances.

“Nice to have that opportunity with 3½ minutes left,” said Kane, whose goal was his 25th. “I thought the power play moved it around pretty good tonight. We had some chances, had good looks.”
