CHICAGO (AP) — Patrick Kane and rookie Artemi Panarin each had a goal and two assists, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the New York Islanders 4-1 on Saturday night.
Defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk added his first career NHL goal as the Blackhawks cruised to their first home win of the season. Chicago also beat New York 3-2 in overtime on Friday night, spoiling the Islanders’ Brooklyn debut.
Scott Darling made 28 saves for the reigning Stanley Cup champions in his first start of the season. He was working on a shutout before Cal Clutterbuck got a short-handed goal with 1:05 left in the third.
