PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks gave Pittsburgh a head start — and still grounded the surging Penguins.Again.Dylan Strome broke a tie 1:48 into the third period and the Blackhawks beat Pittsburgh 5-3 on Sunday night to end the Penguins’ winning streak at eight games.“We’re not going to quit Ryan Dzingel Jersey , we’re going to play until the end,” Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton said. “It certainly wasn’t the start we wanted, we kind of gifted a couple, but credit to those guys in there. I was really happy with how hard we competed and it was nice to see the guys get rewarded.”Strome scored seconds after a power-play expired, beating fallen goalie Casey DeSmith off a pass from Patrick Kane.

They won their 10th straight against the Penguins, including five straight in Pittsburgh. The Blackhawks haven’t lost to the Penguins since March 30, 2014, in Pittsburgh.“Considering (Pittsburgh) won eight in a row coming into the game, they’ve obviously been feeling pretty good about themselves,” Kane said. “I think it’s a team we can kind of compare ourselves too as far as what happened in the past and different history, so a lot of us get excited to play these guys.”Chicago snapped a two-game skid and has won three of five and six of nine following an eight-game losing streak in November.Kane had three assists.

If you don’t take care of the puck, you’re going to play into their hands and play the game they want to play.”DeBrincat put Chicago on the board with a power-play goal. He scored his eighth goal in 13 games on a one-timer from Kane.Kunitz tied it for Chicago at 6:46 of the second period. Kunitz, who won three Stanley Cups with Pittsburgh, scored on a night when the Penguins honored their 2009 Stanley Cup championship team.“Building good friendships and having those good memories is something you never forget,” Kunitz said.The Penguins regained the lead at 9:49 of the second when Brassard squeezed a one-timer from Phil Kessel between Ward’s pads from the right circle. Keith tied it at 3 with a slap shot from the left point just as a power play expired.“I think that was a real positive, finding a way to get back into it, crawl back into it http://www.senatorsshoponline.com/authentic-zack-smith-jersey , take the lead and keep it,” Keith said. “We worked hard and got what we deserved.”NOTES: Penguins’ D Kris Letang played in his 722nd career game, tied with Rick Kehoe for sixth on the franchise list.

LOS ANGELES (AP) The Golden Knights had modest goals in their first season.Put a credible team on the ice while attracting fans unused to a major pro league in Vegas, where gambling and big-name entertainers have ruled the desert city.Nobody said anything the playoffs, let alone making noise in the postseason.”It’s unreal,” coach Gerard Gallant said after the Knights beat the Los Angeles Kings 1-0 on Tuesday and became the first expansion team in NHL history to sweep their first playoff series. ”It all started when we went 8-2 in our first 10 games.”Now, they’re playing with house money.”We’re sky-high right now,” said Brayden McNabb, whose second-period goal proved the series-winner against his former team.Next up is either Anaheim or San Jose. The Sharks are going for a sweep of their own with a 3-0 series lead.”It doesn’t matter who we play,” Gallant said. ”We’ll have some time to get ready for them.”Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will get some much-needed rest after backstopping two shutouts in the series. He stopped 31 shots as the Knights finished off their fourth one-goal victory against the Kings.”We’re still a few wins away from this being a great story,” Fleury said.The Knights are the second team to win their first four playoff games, joining the 1970 Pittsburgh Penguins.”We came in with a chip on our shoulder Max Jones Jersey Womens ,” forward Jonathan Marchessault said. ”When we play the right way, I think we can go far, but we cannot look too far right now. We’ve got to look at the next game and be able to cash in the rest that we’re going to have here.”Fleury survived a tense third period at Staples Center.With their fans shouting encouragement, the desperate Kings put the pressure on. Having pulled goalie Jonathan Quick for an extra attacker late, Dustin Brown’s shot in the high slot was stopped by Fleury’s glove.Brown also hit the left post with 10 minutes to go in the third, typical of the close calls that Fleury turned away with seeming ease. His goals-against average is a career-low 0.66 and he stopped 127 of 130 shots in the series.Quick made 20 saves on Tuesday and gave up seven goals to Vegas, one of the league’s higher scoring teams.”Both goaltenders were excellent,” Gallant said. ”We got a little bit more puck luck and we cashed in at the right time.”Vegas is just the third expansion team since 1968-69 to clinch a playoff berth.Suddenly, the Knights’ goals are unlimited.”We didn’t to expect to do this at the beginning of the year,” left wing David Perron said, ”but it feels great and we’re going to enjoy it.”—
