Despite a few hairy moments in the second period, the Blackhawks snapped their three-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the Coyotes.
Patrick Kane an Artemi Panarin each scored a goal and had an assist for the Hawks.
Kane got the scoring going at 8:44 when he fired a wrist shot past Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith on a power play. It was Kane’s 16th goal of the season.
The Hawks wasted little time in adding to the lead when Ryan Hartman scored on a shot from up top that made it low through several players before beating Smith at 9:56.
Then Marian Hossa scored the Hawks’ second power-play goal of the night as he sliced through the defense, took a feed from Artemi Panarin and made a move on Smith to score his 19th goal of the season.

The Hawks lone goal of the period came from Artemi Panarin, who scored on a one-timer off a feed from Artem Anisimov at 5:24 that gave the Hawks a 4-1 lead at the time.
