Kevin Lankinen made 33 saves, Patrick Kane had two assists and the Blackhawks stopped a four-game slide by holding off the Florida Panthers for a 3-2 win.

Dominik Kubalik, Pius Suter and Carl Soderberg scored for Chicago in the opener of a six-game homestand. It was the Blackhawks' first victory against the Panthers in five games this season.

When the final seconds ticked off, Lankinen raised his arms excitedly before celebrating with the rest of the team. Chicago had dropped six of seven overall.

Anton Stralman and Alex Wennberg scored for the Panthers, who lost for the third time in four games. Chris Driedger made 29 stops.

Florida played without captain Aleksander Barkov, who was scratched because of a lower-body injury. Coach Joel Quenneville said he wasn't sure exactly when he got hurt, and the team will know more about the situation on Wednesday.

Barkov has six goals and 12 assists in his last 13 games, including two assists during Sunday's 5-3 loss at Tampa Bay.

Chicago went ahead to stay with two in the first period. Kubalik got a slick pass from Brandon Hagel and slid the puck between Driedger's legs at 6:24, and Suter tipped Nikita Zadorov's long shot into the net with 1:30 left.

It was Kubalik's 11th goal of the season. He has two goals and four assists during a six-game point streak.

The Blackhawks opened a 3-0 lead when Kane set up Soderberg's power-play goal 4:22 into the second. The tap-in play was Soderberg's first point since he scored at Dallas on March 11.

The teams play again Thursday night. Then the Blackhawks host Nashville on Saturday night.
