Blackhawks cruise to 4-1 victory over Jets

Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane scored in the first period, leading the Blackhawks to a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday night.

The Blackhawks also got goals from Brandon Pirri and Patrick Sharp in their fourth win in five games. Corey Crawford made 24 saves and defenseman Duncan Keith had two assists.

Winnipeg forward Michael Frolik received a standing ovation when he was recognized during a break in the first period in his first game in Chicago since he helped the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup in June. Frolik, who played a pivotal role on Chicago’s penalty-kill unit last season, was traded to the Jets for draft picks at the beginning of the offseason.
