Tim Sassone’s Blackhawks game tracker

Blackhawks 4, Oilers 1

Three stars:

1. Corey Crawford, Hawks: Made 20 of his 23 saves in the second and third periods.

2. Jonathan Toews, Hawks: The captain had his 15th multiple-point game with 2 assists.

3. Patrick Kane, Hawks: Scored 2 goals, including 1 on the power play that snapped an 0-for-14 dry spell.

This and that:

Marian Hossa didn’t play in the third period after taking a hit from Ladislav Smid. Hawks coach Joel Quenneville reunited the line of Toews, Kane and Patrick Sharp, and they responded with 3 goals and 5 points. Quenneville also switched defense pairs with good results, playing Duncan Keith with Nick Leddy and Brent Seabrook with Jordan Hendry.
