Blackhawks Extinguish The Flames
(WSCR) - Despite Patrick Kane's early injury against Calgary that took him out of the game, the Blackhawks still dominated the ice. Both teams scored their goals during the first period with the exception of Bolland's goal just before the game's end.
CHICAGO (AP) -- Dave Bolland scored two power-play goals, and the Chicago Blackhawks overcame the loss of star forward Patrick Kane in the opening minute and beat the Calgary Flames 4-2 on Sunday night.

Kane, the Blackhawks' leading scorer last season with 88 points, sustained an undisclosed lower body injury 46 seconds into the game and didn't return.
