CHICAGO (AP) – The Chicago Blackhawks seemed a step behind the streaking Dallas Stars much of Sunday night before finding a way to come out ahead.
Patrick Sharp scored 1:17 into overtime to give Chicago a 5-4 win that snapped the Stars’ four-game winning streak.
“Probably not our best team game in a while,” Sharp said, “but to come back and win against a division rival, it definitely feels good.”
Sharp drove past Jason Spezza down the slot, took Duncan Keith’s feed from the left point and beat Kari Lehtonen with a shot that slipped between the goalie’s body and his blocker.
That was the only time the Blackhawks led in the contest as Chicago overcame four-one goal deficits and some uncharacteristic defensive breakdowns.
