Ryan Donato, Blackhawks find winning formula against Ducks

Ryan Donato

Ryan Donato scored two goals and had an assist and Teuvo Teravainen added a goal and two assists as the visiting Chicago Blackhawks snapped a five-game losing streak with a 6-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night.

Lukas Reichel had a goal and an assist, Alec Martinez had two assists and Wyatt Kaiser and Pat Maroon also scored for Chicago, which won for just the seventh time in 31 games (7-20-4) on the road this season. Arvid Soderblom finished with 28 saves.

Leo Carlsson scored two goals, Frank Vatrano had two assists and Jackson LaCombe also scored for Anaheim. John Gibson, back after missing three games with an upper-body injury, stopped 18 of 24 shots for the Ducks.

After a scoreless first 27 minutes, the two teams combined for five goals over a 6:53 span in the second period.

Kaiser gave Chicago a 1-0 lead at the 7:48 mark when he took advantage of a defensive breakdown by firing a wrist shot past Gibson’s glove side. Carlsson tied it 45 seconds later when he cut down the slot and roofed a backhand shot.

Maroon, left alone by the right post, then put the Blackhawks back in front with a power-play goal, sweeping in a wrist shot off the far post. Teravainen, left alone in the slot, then made it 3-1 when he fired a wrist shot past Gibson’s glove side.

Anaheim closed to within 3-2 when LaCombe, who had deflected a Ryan Strome point shot, tucked in his own rebound inside the right post for his 11th goal, the most by a Ducks defenseman since Hampus Lindholm scored 13 in 2017-18.

Chicago extended its lead to 4-2 early in the third period on a breakaway goal by Reichel, who intercepted a Pavel Mintyukov pass as a Ducks power play expired and then finished a 3-on-0 break with a wrist shot inside the left post.

A couple of minutes later, Anaheim picked up two minor penalties on the same play, a cross-checking penalty by Radko Gudas and a tripping call on Alex Killorn. The Blackhawks took advantage with a 5-on-3 goal by Donato, who slapped in a cross-crease pass by Tyler Bertuzzi.

Donato extended the lead to 6-2 midway through the period when he beat Brian Dumoulin to a loose puck, then broke in and deked Gibson for his second goal of the game. Carlsson finished the scoring with 2:44 to go with a wrist from the right circle.
