Alex DeBrincat scored the lone goal in the shootout after having three assists in regulation and the Chicago Blackhawks snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 5-4 win over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night.

DeBrincat beat James Reimer with an in-tight move in the third round of the shootout. Chicago's Kevin Lankinen followed by stopping Erik Karlsson's slap shot from the slot as Chicago ended an 0-6-2 slide.

Patrick Kane scored his 24th goal and added two assists for Chicago. Dylan Strome notched his career-high 21st goal and had an assist, and Taylor Raddysh and Calvin de Haan scored. Seth Jones had two assists. 

Jaycob Megna scored on a rebound from a flurry in front with 3:25 left in the third to tie it at 4 and send it to overtime. Megna connected with Lankinen sprawled on the ice after he stopped Timo Meier's shot.

Meier scored his team-leading 32nd goal for the Sharks, who have lost eight in a row (0-5-3). Scott Reedy and Rudolfs Balcers also scored for San Jose, which got two assists from Tomas Hertl.

Lankinen made 33 saves through overtime. Reimer blocked 28 shots.

Kane opened the scoring 1:18 into the first when he lifted in a shot from the left circle to complete a 3-on-1 break with Strome and DeBrincat.

Meier tied it at 1 at 4:45. He fired into an open net from the left circle after Brent Burns' shot from the right point deflected to him off the post.

Raddysh's power-play goal at 13:35 of the second put Chicago ahead 2-1. Jones slid a shot that caromed in off Raddysh's skate as he drove to the crease.

Reedy tied it 2 just over two minutes later when his shot from the slot ticked off de Haan's skate.

Chicago took a 3-2 lead with 1:18 left in the second on de Haan's tip-in of Kane's shot during a 4-on-4.

Strome gave the Blackhawks a two-goal lead at 4:07 of the third, converting Jones' cross-ice feed to complete a pretty passing sequence.

Balcers made it a one-goal game again just 1:33 later by converting a loose rebound with Lankinen down.

Reimer stopped DeBrincat point-blank with 56 seconds left in overtime.
