CHICAGO (AP) — Johnny Gaudreau had a blast during Calgary’s short stay in Chicago.Gaudreau scored two more goals Adidas Paul Thompson Jersey , David Rittich made 32 saves and the Flames beat the Blackhawks 4-3 on Monday.The 25-year-old Gaudreau extended his goal-scoring streak to five games one night after the New Jersey native watched his beloved Philadelphia Eagles beat the Chicago Bears 16-15 in the first round of the NFL playoffs.“It was a good 24 hours, to watch the Eagles win and then get a big win here in Chicago, too,” he said. “It was a nice 24 hours.”Sean Monahan had a goal and an assist as Western Conference-leading Calgary closed out a 3-1 trip with its second straight win. Garnet Hathaway scored an empty-net goal with 50 seconds left, and Elias Lindholm finished with two assists.It was the 15th road win for the Flames, matching Tampa Bay for most in the NHL.“Just a resilient group,” Calgary coach Bill Peters said.Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist for the Blackhawks in the opener of a three-game homestand. Alex DeBrincat and Brandon Saad also scored, and Collin Delia made 39 stops.“They took it to us in the third period,” Kane said. “We were in a good spot after two, tied up. We should be confident in that position. It was unfortunate they got an early goal and we got away from our game plan after that.”Kane picked up right where he left off after he collected three assists in Sunday night’s 5-3 victory at Pittsburgh. The dynamic forward scored his 24th goal in the first period on a backhand from an impossible angle on the right side of the net, and then set up DeBrincat’s 20th goal with a well-placed pass in the second.But Chicago (16-22-7) was unable to hold off high-scoring Calgary. The Flames (27-13-4) are the first team since the 1995-96 Penguins to have four players collect 50-plus points within the first 45 games of a season.Monahan tied it at 2 with a power-play goal with 1:18 left in the second, finishing a pretty passing sequence. The Flames then caught the Blackhawks in a bad line change early in the third, and Gaudreau squeezed one between Delia’s pads for his 26th of the season.“I was trying to get a quick shot through the five-hole there and it kind of squeaked in there Adidas Troy Brouwer Jersey ,” Gaudreau said. “Guys gave me a hard time on the bench when I got back there saying “about time.”But it was a big goal.”Gaudreau, who also scored in the first, has 14 goals and 11 assists in his last 13 games.After Hathaway made it 4-2 with his fifth of the season, Saad got one back for Chicago with 29 seconds remaining. But Calgary held on from there.“If we play close to three periods like the way we play the second, then we win the game,” Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton said. “And we didn’t do it.”NOTES: D Henri Jokiharju rejoined the Blackhawks after helping Finland win its fifth world junior hockey title. “You feel it more right now, a couple days after. It’s a huge thing for Finland,” he said. The 19-year-old Jokiharju got the night off against the Flames. … It was career goal No. 161 for Monahan, matching Jim Peplinski for 11th on the franchise list. … Former Blackhawks F Dennis Hull joined the starters on the ice for the national anthems. The 74-year-old Hull, who had 298 goals and 342 assists in 13 seasons with Chicago, was honored as part of the team’s “One More Shift” program.UP NEXTFlames: Host the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night for the opener of a five-game homestand.Blackhawks: Host the Nashville Predators on Wednesday night. CHICAGO — Jonathan Toews may have gotten the Chicago Blackhawks‘ offense rolling in the right direction.Patrick Kane has taken the baton.Kane, who has scored seven goals in the past seven games, looks to extend his streak when the Blackhawks host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday at the United Center. Kane accounted for two of Chicago’s three third-period goals in a 4-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.Article continues below ...Chicago (4-1-2) won for the first time in regulation this season and hopes to build off of it against the Lightning Adidas Michael Hutchinson Jersey , who lost 5-4 in overtime to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.The Blackhawks’ offense provided plenty of goal-scoring for Corey Crawford, who logged 37 saves in his second game back after making his first appearance in 10 months earlier this week. Given the back-to-back nature of Sunday’s game after Crawford made the start Saturday in Columbus, whether he is back in net Sunday against the Lightning likely won’t be decided until Sunday.But Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville liked what he saw Saturday.“That was vintage Crow,” Quenneville told reporters afterSaturday’s win, according to NBC Sports Chicago. Kane added, “As (Quenneville) would say, that’s a goalie win for us.”As Kane continued to surge ahead offensively, Crawford appears to be fully back despite the amount of time he missed with the concussion. Crawford posted the victory by stopping 37 of the 38 shots he faced to secure his first victory.“Felt really good,” Crawford told reporters, according to the Chicago Tribune. “(I) was reading plays really well. I thought our (defensemen) were blocking shots and I don’t know how many we tipped into the net. (Columbus) had a lot of speed and we were taking that away.”Now, Chicago, which many pundits predicted would miss the playoffs for a second straight season, will look to carry the momentum of Saturday’s solid performance on the road into Sunday’s game back at home.Before the season began Adidas Mike Hoffman Jersey , Kane and his teammates stressed the importance of a strong start. The Blackhawks have gotten what they wished for.“That was really our focus this year,” Kane told reporters, according to the Tribune. “We’re happy with our start, (but) we can play a little bit better.”Tampa Bay (4-1-1) won’t have much time to recover from Saturday’s loss to the Wild in which the Lightning watched a 3-1 lead disappear after the first period and needed an Anton Stralman goal in the third period to force overtime. Andrei Vasilevsky made 29 saves for the Lightning, who saw their three-game winning streak end with Saturday’s loss.“This one stings,” Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonaugh told reporters after the loss, according to TampaBay.com. “We’ve got to learn here to not take a period off.”After such a quick start when Tampa Bay got goals from Ryan Callahan (his first of the season) and J.T. Miller, it appeared the Lightning were on their way.“I think we stopped doing the things that made us successful in the first period,” Stralman told reporters.
