Blackhawks beat Jets 3-1, Kane extends point streak

For now, Kane seemed relieved after setting the franchise record because it seemed like it might not come given the flow of the game.

Captain Andrew Ladd scored Winnipeg’s first goal Saturday, his third straight game with a tally, and Mark Scheifele’s game-winner in overtime gave him four points in his last two contests after a one-goal, two-assist effort Wednesday against Toronto.

Chicago burst out with energy in the third period leading to Teuvo Teravainen’s game victor.

Winnipeg’s Chris Thorburn had a goal that was awarded after a delayed video review.

Looking for a positive from the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks Sunday evening?

During his point streak, Patrick Kane has fired laser-like shots into the net.

Last month, the police announced Kane would not face charges, saying there were “inconsistencies” between the evidence collected and the woman’s account of what happened. The crowed included Hull, who said before the game he was rooting for Kane to break his record. Kane’s 42 points are almost double that of the team’s second highest scorer, with rookie Artemi Panarin boasting 27 points in 27 games.

Quotable: “If we want to stay in the run, and if we want to continue to be a playoff team, I think these are the kind of games you’ve got to win”.

Edmonton Oilers forward Wayne Gretzky holds the National Hockey League record with a 51-game streak (1983-84 season). He drew the loss after going 4-0-1 in his first five appearances against the Blackhawks. Hutchinson stopped the original shot from Winnipeg’s Ryan Garbutt and the puck went off the skate of Marcus Kruger and in behind Hutchinson.

Chicago opened the scoring when Hossa knocked in a rebound with 2:04 to go in the first period.

Winnipeg evened the score at 1 when Thorburn roofed a shot against the top of the net with 14:26 remaining in the second period. When the whistle went a minute later they went back and looked at the replay and the puck had indeed went into the net.

“It was a tight game, we played hard”, said Jets head coach Paul Maurice during his streamed post-game interview. Bickell, 29, scored seven goals and dished seven assists during a 12-game stint in Rockford…. Winnipeg No. 1 goalie Ondrej Pavelec missed his seventh game with a strained knee.

Thursday: Chicago Blackhawks, 7 p.m. He is not expected to start, however, as the Jets are playing the second half of back-to-back games.
