puck past Bernier from the right circle. Strome and DeBrincat
were credited with assists.
Strome was credited with the second goal when Kahun flicked a
backhanded pass that deflected off Strome's skate and past

on the loose puck and fired it from the left circle over Ward's
left shoulder.
The Blackhawks got some breathing room at 7:45 of the third
after a Red Wings giveaway near their own blue line. Kahun
scored on an odd-man rush, slipping the puck through Bernier's
five-hole. Strome set up Kahun with a pass from the left side.
Nyquist scored with 4:30 remaining from the left circle after a
feed from Nick Jensen.
Kane scored just over a minute later after a lead pass from
Toews. Kane beat Bernier on the short side to give Chicago a 4-2
advantage.
