Blackhawks Blast Hurricanes

Alex DeBrincat scored two goals in the third period, helping Chicago edge the Carolina Hurricanes 6-4 on Thursday night.

 

Patrick Kane had a goal and three assists for the Blackhawks, who bounced back nicely after losing 4-3 to the Hurricanes in a shootout Tuesday night. Dominik Kubalik had a goal and two assists, and Mattias Janmark finished with a goal and an assist.

 

DeBrincat snapped a 4-4 tie when he converted a backhand off a rebound 12:22 into the third. Kane had the puck behind the net and fed Pius Suter, who was denied by James Reimer. DeBrincat then skated in for his third goal of the season.

 

DeBrincat added an empty-netter with 12 seconds to play, assisted by Kane.

 

The 32-year-old Kane has 15 points in 12 games.

 

Carolina had won five in a row. 

 

The Blackhawks grabbed a 4-3 lead when Kane scored his sixth of the season 2:41 into the third.

 

But the Hurricanes tied it again on McGinn's wrist shot over the glove of Chicago goaltender Kevin Lankinen at 5:25.

 

Lankinen stopped 30 shots, including a big save on Teuvo Teravainen with nine minutes to play.

The Blackhawks have three players (Adam Boqvist, Lucas Wallmark and Ryan Carpenter) remaining on the NHL's COVID-19 list. 

The Blackhawks are at Dallas on Sunday.
