CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks finally got to celebrate Wednesday night.It had been a while.Jonathan Toews had a goal and two assists Adidas Adam Pelech Jersey , and Chicago stopped an eight-game losing streak with a 6-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.“I think we played a winning style tonight,” coach Jeremy Colliton said. “Direct, hard-nosed. Hopefully that’ll turn into more points.“So nice to see them get rewarded, because we played really hard in some other games and didn’t come out with a point.”Marcus Kruger, Brent Seabrook, Andreas Martinsen, Brandon Saad each had a goal and an assist in Chicago’s first win since Nov. 24 at Florida. Alex DeBrincat scored a power-play goal.Toews became the 16th active player to reach 700 career points with the same franchise. He assisted on Saad’s empty-netter for his 701st point.Kruger snapped a 3-all tie when he beat Casey DeSmith from the front of the crease 3:49 into the third period. Martinsen set up Kruger’s fourth goal of the season with a centering pass from below the goal line.Toews also had an empty-netter before Saad made it 6-3 with his ninth goal at 19:39.“It’s a relief, but it’s definitely just a good feeling,” Toews said. “The guys have something to celebrate, something to enjoy. It’s something we’ve got to be aware of and build off.”Bryan Rust scored three times for Pittsburgh in his second career hat trick. The 26-year-old forward, who entered with one goal in 29 games this season, missed on several other prime chances.“He had a great night Adidas Thomas Hickey Jersey ,” coach Mike Sullivan said. “I thought he worked hard for all of his opportunities. He was one of the guys that we had that was skating, that was on the puck, that was playing the game on his toes.”Sullivan said many of his other players didn’t have the same level of “jump” Rust did.“We scratch and claw and get ourselves back in the game,” Sullivan said. “It’s disappointing we didn’t find a way to win.“It’s a missed opportunity from our standpoint.”The Penguins entered 3-0-1 in their previous four and 6-2-2 in their last 10.Corey Crawford made 40 saves for last-place Chicago. DeSmith blocked 23 shots in his sixth straight start and 10th in the last 12 games.Matt Murray, who started the season as Pittsburgh’s No. 1 goalie, was activated from injured reserve and served as DeSmith’s backup. Murray missed 11 games with a lower-body injury.The Blackhawks shook up their roster on Wednesday morning by recalling forward Dylan Sikura and defenseman Carl Dahlstrom from Rockford of the AHL and sending forward Alexandre Fortin to the minors. Sikura and Dahlstrom played.Chicago is 4-12-2 under Colliton, who replaced Joel Quenneville on Nov. 6.The Blackhawks opened the scoring for the first time since Nov. 18 and led 2-1 after one period. Opponents had scored first in Chicago’s last 11 games, outscoring the Blackhawks 25-5 in the first period during that span.“We got a better start, which is obviously a huge issue with our game the last little while,” Toews said. “We sustained the effort even when they had spurts and they played hard.”Martinsen skated across the crease and was credited with his first goal of the season when Dahlstrom’s shot deflected in off his back at 14:14.Seabrook put Chicago ahead 2-0 3:37 later when he fired a shot from the right point over DeSmith’s glove.Rust cut it to 2-1 with 1:20 left in the first when he skated from the left corner and beat Crawford on the glove side.Rust’s second goal, at 5:46 of the second, tied it at 2. After Seabrook’s turnover Adidas Tom Kuhnhackl Jersey , Crawford made a pad save on Derek Grant’s drive from the slot, but Rust buried the rebound.DeBrincat’s power-play goal with 4:32 left in the period regained the lead for Chicago. He skated around Olli Maatta and beat DeSmith on the stick side with a shot just under the crossbar.Rust tied it at 3 with 56.8 seconds left when his cross-ice pass from the left side of the net deflected off Seabrook’s stick and past Crawford.NOTES: Rust has 37 goals in 211 career games. He scored three times against Ottawa in December 2016. … Seabrook played in his 1,037th NHL game to move past Bobby Hull and into second place in games played as a Blackhawk. Stan Mikita leads with 1,396. … Pittsburgh G Tristan Jarry was returned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL to make room for Murray, who practiced Tuesday and participated in the game-day skate Wednesday. “We thought we’d get him a good solid workout again today and then engage him over the next couple of games here,” coach Mike Sullivan said. … Pittsburgh F Matt Cullen returned after missing 11 games with a lower-body injury. … Chicago C Artem Anisimov was placed on injured reserve (concussion protocol) retroactive to Dec. 9, when he left a 3-2 loss to Montreal in the third period. … Blackhawks D Erik Gustafsson (illness) missed his second game, while Penguins F Patric Hornqvist (upper body) missed his third.UP NEXTPenguins: Host Boston on Friday to open three-game homestand over four days.Blackhawks: Host Winnipeg on Friday. WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Johnny Gaudreau supplied the offense and heaped praise on netminder David Rittich.Gaudreau had a hat trick as the Calgary Flames ended a three-game winless streak with a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night.Mark Jankowski had a short-handed, third-period goal for Calgary. Sean Monahan contributed three assists and Elias Lindholm added a pair.Rittich made 35 saves.“I think Ritter, Dave Rittich, played out of his mind tonight Adidas Matt Martin Jersey ,” Gaudreau said.“He made some big saves and kept us in that game. It could have easily been 2-2, 3-3 there, going late into the third. He played unbelievable tonight and got us that win.”Adam Lowry scored for the Jets, who had won their previous two games and had a four-game win streak at home halted.Gaudreau’s first goal was a redirection by Jets forward Patrik Laine, who stuck out his stick to block Gaudreau’s pass attempt to Lindholm, but the puck went by goalie Connor Hellebuyck. His third goal was into an empty net.Hellebuyck stopped 24 shots for Winnipeg.The Jets remained first the Western Conference, one point ahead of Calgary.Jets forward Bryan Little was the victim of a couple of Rittich’s solid saves.“We had some really good chances and (Rittich) was standing on his head in there,” Little said. “He was making some big saves at important times of the game, too. You’re going to have those nights.”Winnipeg captain Blake Wheeler said the Jets weren’t sharp.“We’re not going to fool ourselves and pretend we played a great game and their goalie stole it,” Wheeler said. “But he played well. They capitalized on their looks and we didn’t. But we’ve got another level.”Winnipeg outshot Calgary 14-7 in the scoreless opening period, with both teams a bit sloppy after their holiday breaks. Rittich made a couple of key saves as the Flames went 0 for 2 on the power play and the Jets 0 for 1 in the first 20 minutes.Gaudreau scored his 17th goal of the season at 1:04 of the second with Laine’s accidental redirection.A few minutes later, Jets fans had a bit of a scare when Hellebuyck bent over to smother a puck with his glove at the side of the crease. Noah Hanifin caught the goalie in the head with a knee Adidas Anthony Beauvillier Jersey , knocking off his mask. Hellebuyck appeared shaken, but after a trainer came out to look at him, he remained in the game.Lowry tied it with 2:07 left in the period after he intercepted a pass by Alan Quine. But 54 seconds later, Gaudreau took a pass from Lindholm and put a backhand shot past a sprawled Hellebuyck.Winnipeg’s shots on goal were 25-20 after the second period.The third period included a 2-on-1 with Little and defenseman Dustin Byfuglien, but Little’s shot hit Rittich’s body as he slid over to make the save. Laine then rang a high shot off the iron and Little fired the puck, and Rittich made another save.Jankowski’s fifth of the season made it 3-1 at 15:39, and Gaudreau notched an empty-netter with 2:06 remaining. He left the ice right after that following a slash by Byfuglien earlier in the play.NOTES: Calgary captain Mark Giordano, who had assist on the last goal, was playing in his 791st NHL game, tying him with Theo Fleury for fourth-most games with the Flames.UP NEXT:Calgary hosts Vancouver on Saturday night.Winnipeg hosts Minnesota on Saturday afternoon.
