 Blackhawks 3, Penguins 2 (SO)
Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane scored shootout goals to lift the
Chicago Blackhawks to a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The game went to overtime following a scoreless third period. The
Blackhawks had the best scoring chance but right winger Marian Hossa
was wide of an open net with a backhander in the lower slot with
just over two minutes to go.
However, the Blackhawks, who blew a 2-0 lead, didn't miss in the
shootout as they improved to 5-5 during a choppy January.
Hossa had a goal and an assist for the Blackhawks and defenseman
David Rundblad also scored.

with Karlsson and Mika Zibanejad also scoring as they built a 3-0
first-period lead.

lead to a goal early in the third period.
