Kevin Lankinen made 32 saves and the short-handed Blackhawks jumped on two costly mistakes by Elvis Merzlikins, topping the Blue Jackets 3-1 on Sunday.

Patrick Kane and Philipp Kurashev each had a goal and an assist for Chicago, which had dropped three in a row. The Blackhawks improved to 1-1 on a four-game homestand after losing 2-1 to the Blue Jackets on Friday night.

The game was tied before Merzlikins mishandled the puck behind his net at two different points in the third, and Chicago scored each time.

Pius Suter got to one in the corner and sent his shot off the goaltender and into the net at 7:41, lifting the Blackhawks to a 2-1 lead.

On Merzlikins' second misplay, Kurashev fed Kane for his fourth goal at 13:40.

Columbus had a chance to get one back when Andrew Shaw was sent off for hooking, but Chicago killed off the penalty.

Boone Jenner scored for the Blue Jackets, and Merzlikins stopped 33 shots.

Chicago used a pretty passing sequence to jump in front in the first period. Mattias Janmark found a streaking Kane in the middle, and he touched it over to Kurashev for a tap-in at 12:32.

The Blackhawks host the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.
