| Blackhawks Bury Ducks with 3-Goal, 3rd Period |
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Patrick Sharp scored for the fourth time in five games to give Chicago the lead for good, Duncan Keith had a short-handed goal and fellow defenseman Nicklas Hjalmarsson ended a 44-game goal drought, leading the Blackhawks to a 4-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday.
Troy Brouwer capped a three-goal third period and Corey Crawford made 26 saves for the defending Stanley Cup champions.
Dan Sexton scored on a power play for the Ducks, who have just 10 goals during a six-game losing streak that began Nov. 14 at Chicago with a 3-2 overtime defeat that snapped a six-game winning streak. Right wing Teemu Selanne sat out his second straight game because of a groin injury after testing it in the pregame warmups. Anaheim was 11-1-1 with one tie in its previous 14 home games against Chicago since the start of the 2002-03 season.
