Hossa, Anisimov and Panarin lead Blackhawks over Stars
CHICAGO — Scott Darling is getting into a groove. The banged-up Chicago Blackhawks are playing smart and tight in front of him.
On Sunday night, it all worked perfectly.
Marian Hossa, Artem Anisimov and Artemi Panarin scored to lead the Central Division-leading Blackhawks over the Dallas Stars 3-1.
Darling made 23 saves in his fifth straight start while No. 1 goalie Corey Crawford recovers from an appendectomy. Darling has permitted just seven goals during the stretch, but the Blackhawks have scored only nine while going 2-2-1.
