Toews' OT Goal Pushes Blackhawks Past Coyotes

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Jonathan Toews scored his second goal of the night in overtime in his return from a one-game suspension, lifting the Chicago Blackhawks to a 5-4 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday night.

The teams traded scoring chances in the 3-on-3 overtime, leaving players on both sides exhausted. Toews skated in with a burst of energy, beating Louis Domingue with a wrister with 29 seconds left in the extra period.

Toews, suspended for missing the All-Star game, also scored in the second period. Patrick Kane scored his NHL-leading 31st goal in the second and Marian Hossa had a goal and an assist. Michal Rozsival scored his first goal of the season for the Blackhawks.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson had a goal and two assists for the Coyotes. Mikkel Boedker and Jordan Martinook scored two quick goals in the second period, and Shane Doan scored in the third.

Chicago beat Arizona 7-5 on Dec. 29 and this one was had a similar feel.

Hossa appeared to score a goal late in the first period on a backhander that bounced off Coyotes defenseman Klas Dahlbeck past Domingue, but it was waved off for goalie interference after a challenge by the Coyotes.

Chicago coach Joel Quenneville nearly climbed over the wall as he screamed at the officials after the call, leading to an unsportsmanlike penalty. He became more incensed when the Coyotes capitalized on the ensuing power play, a goal by Ekman-Larsson on a wrister.

The second period turned into a whirlwind of goals and momentum.

Hossa scored a goal that counted early in the period, flipping a shot past Domingue after skating in from the side of the goal. He celebrated then started yelling at the officials as he raised his hands: "No goal? No goal?"

Hossa had an assist 67 seconds later, feeding a pass across to Toews, who made a quick move to beat Domingue for a shorthanded goal.

The Coyotes roared back with two goals in 9 seconds.

Boedker had the first, beating Corey Crawford with a wrister on a power play for his first goal in 16 games. Martinook put the Coyotes up 3-2, fighting through a cluster of sticks and skates to punch in Brad Richardson's feed.

Chicago's turn next; Kane tied the game with a wrister from the right circle that squeezed through Domingue's pads for his NHL-leading 75th point.

Rozsival put the Blackhawks back up midway through the third period, redirecting a pass from Artem Anisimov on a 4-on-4.

Doan tied it up again, scoring on a wraparound to help send the game to overtime.
