Patrick Kane reaches 400 as Blackhawks rout Red Wings.
Patrick Kane scored his 400th career goal with 10:50 remaining in the third period and the host Chicago Blackhawks pulled away over the final 20 minutes for a 7-2 rout of the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday night.
Kane became the fourth player in team history to score 400 goals for Chicago, joining Hall of Famers Bobby Hull (604) and Stan Mikita (541) along with Steve Larmer (406). He also became the 100th player in NHL history, 10th active player and ninth American-born player to reach the mark. Kane’s milestone moment occurred a little over two minutes after Ryan Carpenter scored his second power-play goal and was part of a five-goal binge in the third period.
The milestone occurred when Kane streaked down the left side on a 2-on-1 with Alex DeBrincat and waited for defenseman Filip Hronek to fall to the ice near the right face-off circle. Once Hronek went down, Kane fired a wrist shot that sailed over the left shoulder of goaltender Thomas Greiss.
Kane also had two assists, including a nifty drop pass for rookie Pius Suter’s seventh goal 92 seconds into the third that started the barrage. DeBrincat added Chicago’s final goal with just over 4 1/2 minutes remaining, and collected three assists, as the Blackhawks reached seven goals for the first time this season. Dominik Kubalik also scored during the third and Nikita Zadorov netted the initial goal of the game as Chicago beat Detroit for the fifth time in six meetings and won for the ninth time in its last 12 games overall.
Chicago rookie goaltender Kevin Lankinen made a career-high 44 saves, including 20 in the opening period. Sam Gagner and Evgeny Svechnikov scored for Detroit, which was unable to win a third straight game and allowed seven goals for the third time.
Greiss allowed seven goals on 32 shots en route to his 12th defeat. After allowing the final goal, Greiss flung his stick at the crossbar in disgust.
Zadorov opened the scoring with 8:19 left in the first when he was wide-open for a wrist shot. A little over five minutes later, Carpenter scored his first goal by leaning into a wrist shot.
After a tip-in by Gagner made it 2-1 late in the first, the Blackhawks began their barrage on Suter’s goal off Kane’s highlight-reel pass.


Bruins stifle Rangers for Tuukka Rask’s 299th career win
Charlie Coyle scored twice and Tuukka Rask made 20 saves as the visiting Boston Bruins defeated the New York Rangers 4-1 on Sunday afternoon.
The Bruins bounced back from a 6-2 loss to the Rangers on Friday and Thursday’s 7-2 loss to the New York Islanders. 
They beat the Rangers for the third time in four meetings on a day when Rask was seldom tested and picked up his 299th career win. Coyle opened the scoring in the first period and added a short-handed empty-net tally. Trent Frederic also scored in the first, Charlie McAvoy tallied in the second and David Pastrnak added two assists as Boston outshot the Rangers by a wide 36-21 margin. Playing in front of 1,800 fans for the second time this season, the Rangers were unable to follow up Friday’s win as Colin Blackwell scored their lone goal with 9:13 remaining in the third.
New York also survived a potential injury scare to goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, who was pulled for the final 13:19 of the first period. Shortly after Boston’s Nick Ritchie fell on Georgiev’s head during a scramble in the crease, the Rangers sent him back to the locker room for an examination.
Georgiev returned for the final 40 minutes and made 31 saves. Igor Shesterkin played the rest of the first period and stopped one shot. 
The Bruins went ahead with 13:19 remaining when Coyle went by New York defenseman K’Andre Miller and lifted a shot from the right side over Georgiev. Boston took a 2-0 lead late in the period when Frederic deflected Connor Clifton’s shot from the right point past Shesterkin.
Boston took a 3-0 midway through the second by simply moving the puck around numerous times following a faceoff win. Eventually Brad Marchand whipped a cross-ice pass to Pastrnak at the left point and his slap shot through traffic was tipped over Georgiev by McAvoy.
