Kane scores two more, Blackhawks win
Chicago star extends his point streak to 19 games
Patrick Kane scored two goals, including the game winner with 2:18 left in overtime, extending his point streak to 19 games and lifting the Chicago Blackhawks to a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night.
Dylan Larkin and Andreas Athanasiou scored two goals each for the Red Wings, who rallied from a 4-1 third-period deficit to tie it. But Erik Gustafsson found Kane alone to the right of the net in overtime, and the Chicago star beat goalie Jonathan Bernier for his 38th goal of the season. Artem Anisimov, Brandon Saad and Alex Debrincat scored for Chicago in the first period. The Blackhawks have won 10 of their last 12 games, scoring 60 goals in that span.
Kane trails league leader Alex Ovechkin by just four goals now. Avalanche 7, Jets 1: Nathan Mackinnon and Matt Calvert scored 11 seconds apart in the third period, Semyon Varlamov made 26 saves in another strong performance and Colorado beat Winnipeg.
Notes: Boston acquired center Charlie Coyle from Minnesota for center Ryan Donato and a conditional fifth-round pick that would become a fourth-round choice if the Bruins win a playoff round. Coyle has 10 goals and 18 assists this season.
