A potent power play propelled the Chicago Blackhawks to their first victory of the season after emerging as a constant in four previous defeats.
"The movement in general has been a lot better, and there's a lot of options, especially for me, the way the hands are set up," Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane said.
Chicago has converted 7 of 17 opportunities on the power play entering Sunday's home matinee against the Detroit Red Wings.
The Blackhawks skated to a 4-1 win over the Red Wings on Friday night in the first leg of a back-to-back at the United Center.
