Kane helps Blackhawks hand Canadiens 2nd regulation loss
CHICAGO — Patrick Kane keeps finding new ways to score big goals — and the Chicago Blackhawks keep on rolling.
Kane, the reigning NHL scoring leader and MVP, scored a spectacular tiebreaking goal late in the second period and the Blackhawks beat Montreal 3-2 on Sunday night, handing the league-leading Canadiens just their second regulation loss of the season.
Kane snapped a 2-all tie with 3:37 left in the second to cap a terrific individual effort. He skated down the slot, fooled Jeff Petry with a move and chipped a shot past Al Montoya — while falling to the ice with Max Pacioretty checking him closely from behind.
So where does that one rate in Kane’s growing highlight reel library?
