Patrick Kane recorded his first career regular-season hat trick Friday as the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the host Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 for their 10th straight win.
The win puts Chicago in first place in the Central Division, a point ahead of the Dallas Stars.
“We’re happy with the way we’re trending, but we’re not satisfied with where we’re at,” Kane said. “We still feel like we can improve, our coaches feel like we can improve, so there’s plenty of things we can do better.”
The Maple Leafs were whistled for six penalties — including four in the second period — with Chicago earning two power-play goals.
