The 25-year-old Lankinen turned aside 10 shots
in the first period, 12 shots in the second period and eight
shots in the third period to win his second career start.
Patrick Kane, Calvin de Haan, Andrew Shaw and Mattias Janmark
scored one goal apiece for Chicago, which snapped a four-game
winless drought to start the season.
Dylan Larkin scored the lone goal for Detroit, which lost its
first road game. Thomas Greiss stopped 24 of 27 shots.
Chicago opened the scoring on a power-play goal by Kane with
6:38 remaining in the first period. He spotted a loose puck near
the front of the crease and punched it in for his team-leading
third goal in five games.
The sequence marked the 392nd goal of Kane's career. He moved
one step closer to becoming the fourth player in Blackhawks
history to notch 400 goals, joining Bobby Hull (604), Stan
Mikita (541) and Steve Larmer (406).
An even-strength goal increased the Blackhawks' lead to 2-0 with
12:07 to go in the second period. Dylan Strome zipped a pass to
de Haan, who steadied the puck and blasted a slap shot into the
net for his first goal of the season.
Shaw made it 3-0 for Chicago with 13:43 remaining in the third
period. Alex DeBrincat fed a pass to Kane, who quickly spotted
Shaw open toward the left side of the crease. Shaw ripped a
one-timer past Greiss for his first goal since Nov. 7, 2019.
Detroit cut the deficit to 3-1 on an even-strength goal by
Larkin with 7:38 left in the third period. He got behind
Blackhawks rookie defenseman Ian Mitchell and swooped right to
left before beating Lankinen for his third goal.
Janmark scored an empty-net goal to give the Blackhawks a 4-1
lead with 2:54 to go in the third period.
The Red Wings and Blackhawks will stay in Chicago for a rematch
Sunday afternoon.
