BOSTON - With 10 of his 17 goals coming in the third period or overtime, Marian Hossa is used to waiting to score. But he'd rather not go more than a month next time.

Hossa had the game-winning goal - the only goal - in the Blackhawks' 1-0 victory over the Boston Bruins on Friday night, smacking in a Tanner Kero pass with 1:26 to go in the game. It was Hossa's first goal since Dec. 15, a span of 15 games - 10 that he played in, and five that he missed with an upper-body injury.

Hossa had three assists in Tuesday's win over Colorado, finding quick chemistry with rookies Vinnie Hinostroza and Kero.

"You notice how hard of a worker he is, everywhere on the ice," Kero said. "He's always going hard on the pucks. He's strong on pucks. He just makes things happen."
