Blackhawks rally to defeat Blue Jackets in shoot-out
OHIO: Dylan Strome and Erik Gustafsson each scored in the third period as the visiting Chicago Blackhawks rallied from a two-goal deficit on Sunday to record a 3-2 shoot-out win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have earned a point in 10 straight contests.
Chicago halved their deficit on a goal from Strome at 7:33 minutes into the third period. The Blackhawks tied the game on their fourth power-play chance of the game, courtesy of Gustafsson’s blast with 2:02 minutes left in regulation.
Robin Lehner made 31 saves while captain Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane scored in the shoot-out as Chicago won for the fourth time in five games.
Columbus thought they had won in overtime, but defenceman Zach Werenski’s shot that was initially called a goal as time expired was washed out following review.
Kevin Hayes scored a goal with 67 seconds remaining in overtime to lift visiting Philadelphia past Anaheim 2-1.
After scoreless second and third periods, Hayes found himself on a breakaway with a shoot-out fast approaching and was able to beat Ducks goaltender John Gibson for his 12th goal of the season off a long pass from Jakub Voracek.
Flyers goalie Brian Elliott made 27 saves in the victory, while Gibson made 33 saves for the Ducks.
Roope Hintz’s late tie-breaking goal was one of four Dallas tallies in the third period during a 4-2 come-from-behind victory over hosts Arizona in Glendale.
A night after an overtime shoot-out win at home over Colorado, Dallas scored the game’s final four goals Sunday for their second straight win. Jamie Benn had a goal and an assist, Alexander Radulov scored his 11th of the season and Mattias Janmark scored an empty-net goal for the Stars.
Arizona have lost three straight games in regulation for the first time this season. Conor Garland scored a goal and assisted on another, and Taylor Hall scored his first goal at Gila River Arena for his new team.
