DALLAS -- The Chicago Blackhawks took advantage of their opportunities against the Dallas Stars on Saturday night. Marian Hossa scored two goals and Chicago defeated Dallas 5-2. Patrick Sharp assisted on the Blackhawks first four goals. Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane also scored before Niklas Hjalmarsson finished the scoring with a short-handed empty-net goal. The Stars failed to score on any of their six power plays. Chicagos penalty-killing unit was ranked last in the NHL, but it was good enough to stop all of Dallas power-play chances. The Stars are 0 for 24 power plays at home this season. Hossa said the Blackhawks penalty killing is "definitely getting better and better, and were getting on the same page." "Technically, we didnt get a power-play goal," Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said, "but (the Stars first goal) came at the end of one and it was still 5-on-4. "We had some good opportunities we didnt convert. We got some good looks that could have been a game-changer right there." In contrast, Kanes goal was just 23 seconds into Chicagos only power play of the game, 18:15 into the second period. It was the Blackhawks only shot with a man advantage. "It was frustrating with all of the penalties early," Sharp said. "We were patient and we capitalized on the power play. We knew it was going to come sooner than later." The Blackhawks used two short passes across the ice, from Sharp and Andrew Shaw to Kane, to set up that go-ahead goal at 18:15 of the second period. Dallas Cody Eakin had lost the puck on a one-man rush into the Chicago end. The Stars were late getting back before Kanes shot from the right circle beat Kari Lehtonen. "The changing point was on a turnover by myself," Eakin said. "We have to be a little sharper. I thought we played a good game, but we had a few too many turnovers." Ruff said: "They took advantage of a big mistake. We had a really big error on killing a penalty and should have walked out of the second period probably at 2-2. "In the end, we gave the game away, and that hurts." The Blackhawks took advantage. "Basically, it was one of those nights where special teams was the differential," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "Our penalty kill led the charge. It was a great goal for the power play. I thought overall we played a real strong game discounting the penalties we took." Before that, the Blackhawks twice rallied from one-goal deficits. Hossa evened the score 1-1 in the first period with an assist from Toews across the goalmouth, after Eakin had scored for Dallas. Hossa said: "As soon as (Toews) got in position, I tried to find open space for putting the puck in the net, and he found me beautifully. He did an excellent job behind the goal." Eakin scored at the end of what was virtually a 4-minute power play because of consecutive minor penalties against Chicago. Hjalmarsson had barely returned to the ice from serving a tripping penalty when Trevor Daley took a backhand shot. Chicago goalie Corey Crawford tried to control the rebound, but Dallas Shawn Horcoff and Eakin poked at the puck and it crossed the goal line. Crawford finished with 31 saves. Eakin scored at 6:10, 2 seconds after Hjalmarssons penalty had expired. He had gone into the penalty box just 1 second after teammate Brandon Saads high sticking penalty ended. Chicagos late first-period rally pulled the Blackhawks within one shot on goal of the Stars at 11-10. In the second period, Dallas continued to put pressure on Crawford. It paid off at 6:54. Tyler Seguin took a pass from Jamie Benn and fired in a shot from an angle low in the right faceoff circle. The Blackhawks continued to frustrate the Stars power play, killing off two more in the period. Chicago tied the score 2-2 at 10:19. Lehtonen stopped a short-range shot by Toews, but Toews manoeuvred around defenceman Brenden Dillon to knock in his own rebound. Lehtonen finished with 26 saves. Sharp credited his teammates for his four assists. "One of those nights where you try to make the right play, and my linemates were putting the puck in the net." Dallas goalie stopped a breakaway by Kane 23 seconds before the period ended. The final two goals came 34 seconds apart in the third period. Hossa scored on a breakaway, and Hjalmarsson followed with a shot the length of the ice for his empty-net goal at 18:53. Notes: The Stars finished with a 33-31 advantage in shots. .

The formidable trio of Canadian receivers -- individually known as Chris Getzlaf, Rob Bagg and Andy Fantuz -- will share the field at Mosaic Stadium one more time on Sunday. This time though one of them will be wearing enemy colours when the 101st Grey Cup kicks off. Getzlaf and Bagg still represent the Roughriders but Fantuz will be flying in the opposite direction as a member of the Tiger-Cats after he signed with Hamilton as a free agent in February, 2012. "Obviously Andys a friend of a bunch of guys on the team and hes a great player in this league, but we havent talked once all week and I think were going to be waiting until after the game," Getzlaf said following the Riders walkthrough Saturday morning. Sundays game will be the first in over three years that Getzlaf, Bagg and Fantuz have played together in Regina. Bagg suffered a season-ending knee injury on Oct. 17, 2010, that, unbeknownst to anyone at the time, signalled the end of an era. The bum knee kept him out of the entire 2011 season as well, and Fantuz left to Hamilton before the 2012 season as a free agent. As a group they flew under the radar in their debut, playing together for the first time on Oct. 25, 2008. Fantuz had four catches for 62 yards and a touchdown, while Getzlaf caught two balls for 28 yards and Bagg had one grab for 22 yards in a 55-9 rout over the Edmonton Eskimos. The trio gained prominence over the next two years, combining for 5,234 yards receiving and 30 touchdown catches, and helping Saskatchewan to the Grey Cup in 2009 and 2010, before being grounded for good. Toogether, they stood very tall.dddddddddddd Divided, at least one of them is now guaranteed something they couldnt achieve as a team -- a Grey Cup ring. "I was talking to Rob Bagg earlier today and he was telling me how he was just 23 back in 2009 in his first Grey Cup," said Saskatchewan quarterback Darian Durant. "It was my first year starting also. We were just young pups, running around like a chicken with its head cut off, not realizing the moment. We were just out there playing. "But now we understand whats at stake, we understand what it takes to get the job done and I just like the vibe of the team." For the starting receivers on Sunday that vibe is a little less Canadian but arguably no less talented, fuelled by the speed and elusiveness of Weston Dressler, the increasingly sure-handed Getzlaf, a reliable short threat in Bagg, the big-play capability of Taj Smith and the addition of surefire Hall of Famer Geroy Simon in the off-season. The Roughriders celebrated three 1,000-yard receivers in 2013 for the first time in 20 years, with Getzlaf, Dressler and Smith all cracking the threshold. "These guys, I think theyre more mature now and they still have that mindset of Dont quit," said Riders head coach Corey Chamblin. "And thats one of the things that attracted me to this team and that Ive always liked about this team. Thats the biggest thing, I think theres a growth process there. "I also thought about today, I can remember when (Getzlaf) was younger and he was like third on the list for us to cover, and now hes one of those guys that needs to be first on the list to cover because hes grown so much."
