’Hawks take out Sabres

-

Patrick Kane extended his goal-scoring streak to six games, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-1 on Sunday night for their fourth straight victory.

Kirby Dach scored twice as the resurgent Blackhawks improved to 6-1-1 in their last eight games. Jonathan Toews added his fourth of the season, and Corey Crawford made 33 saves.

Kane won a battle with Buffalo defenseman Marco Scandella for a loose puck during a third-period power play, and then beat Carter Hutton on the glove side for his team-best 11th goal. The star forward has eight goals and nine assists during a nine-game point streak.

Jack Eichel scored his fifth goal in two days, but bangedup Buffalo lost for the seventh time in eight games. Eichel had four goals in the Sabres’ 4-2 victory over Ottawa on Saturday.

Buffalo played without forward Kyle Okposo, who left the win against the Senators with a possible head injury.

Vegas 6, Calgary 0 — William Karlsson had his third straight multipoint game, Marc-Andre Fleury earned his league high-tying 10th victory this season and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Calgary Flames.

Fleury, who improved to 14-4-1 all-time against Calgary, stopped all 34 shots he saw for his fifth career shutout against the Flames and 58th all time, which moved him into a tie for 19th in NHL history with Jon Ross Roach.

Karlsson, the only player to have appeared in each of Vegas’ 186 all-time regularsea­son games, had two goals and an assist for Vegas. He now has 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) over the last 11 games for Vegas and leads the team with 23 points.

Paul Stastny, Max Pacioretty and Cody Eakin also scored for Vegas.
