Patrick Kane and Sam Lafferty scored for the Chicago Blackhawks in the opener of a seven-game homestand, but it only resulted in the fourth straight loss Sunday. The last-place Blackhawks' 4-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks was the 12th in the last 13 games.
Patrick Kane and Sam Lafferty scored for the Chicago Blackhawks in the opener of a seven-game homestand, but it only resulted in the fourth straight loss Sunday. Jonah Gadjovich, Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Alexander Barabanov all scored in the second period for San Jose, which had dropped three in a row and six of seven overall. Timo Meier and Evgeny Svechnikov added third-period goals.
The crowd at the United Center booed after the final seconds ticked off. The Blackhawks dropped to 3-12-2 at home this season. The 35-year-old Vlasic became the second NHL defenseman to score in his 1,200th game, joining former Blackhawk Duncan Keith, who did it for Edmonton last season. Vlasic's 77th career goal was initially waved off, but the officials ruled a replay review showed he redirected the puck instead of kicking it home.
