Kane Scores in OT to Lift Blackhawks Past Islanders 3-2

BlackhawksNEW YORK (AP) — Patrick Kane scored on a power play at 1:49 of overtime to give the Chicago Blackhawks to a 3-2 victory over New York on Friday night, spoiling the Islanders’ debut in Brooklyn.With the Blackhawks awarded an extra skater after a slashing penalty on the Islanders’ Nick Leddy during the 3-on-3 overtime, Kane sent the puck toward the middle of the net from the right side.

Kane is the subject of a sexual assault investigation in western New York. He hasn’t been charged, and has said he expects to be exonerated.

Kane also scored in the second period, Artem Anisimov added a goal and Corey Crawford stopped 34 shots. Crawford improved to 4-0-1 in his career against the Islanders and helped the defending Stanley Cup champions bounce back after losing their season opener at home to the New York Rangers two nights earlier.

John Tavares and Marek Zidlicky scored for the Islanders. Thomas Greiss, starting in place of the injured Jaroslav Halak, finished with 32 saves.
