Blackhawks extend their record streak Chicago extended their NHL-record, season-opening points streak to 22 games with a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings, as Patrick Kane scored the tying goal with 2:02 left in regulation and then the only goal in a shoot-out.

"It was a frustrating day because I wanted to show the world how well I could kick," she said.
