VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp and Brandon Saad each had a goal and an assist in the second period as the Chicago Blackhawks scored in quick succession to beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 on Wednesday night.
Marian Hossa also scored in the second period for Chicago and Saad added an empty netter late. Corey Crawford made 29 saves.
