Arvid Soderblom made 37 saves to help the visiting Chicago Blackhawks to a 4-2 win against the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.
Connor Bedard had three assists and Taylor Hall added two more for the Blackhawks, who have won three of their past four games.
Brock McGinn and Mason McTavish scored and Lukas Dostal made 25 saves for the Ducks, who have lost four of their past five games.
It was all Anaheim through the first half of the first period. By the 10-minute mark, the hosts held an 8-1 edge in shots on goal.
But it was the Blackhawks who struck first. Bedard fed an oncoming Isaak Phillips, who fired a snap shot from above the left circle that beat a screened Dostal at 12:57.
Teuvo Teravainen made it 2-0 on the power play at 16:44. Hall took a pass from Alex Vlasic at the blue line and brought it to the high slot before feeding Teravainen for a one-timer from one knee in the right circle.
Seth Jones pushed the lead to 3-0 with another power-play tally at 18:05 of the second period, blasting a one-timer from the left circle off a feed from Bedard.
Anaheim applied pressure in the third. Cutter Gauthier and Alex Killorn each had chances in front just over 4 1/2 minutes into the frame but didn’t capitalize. Later in the period, Soderblom got a piece of Killorn’s backhand to deflect it wide.
The Ducks finally broke through at 10:16. McGinn took a feed from Ross Johnston and snapped a shot that trickled through Soderblom to cut Anaheim’s deficit to 3-1.
Ryan Donato made it 4-1 at 17:43 when he jammed in the puck at the side of the net on a goalmouth scramble.
McTavish scored on a rebound on the power play with four seconds left for the 4-2 final.
