York Giants have signed quarterback Rusty Smith, who played the last four
seasons with the Tennessee Titans.CHICAGO - The Chicago Blackhawks are trying
get into a groove so they can head into the playoffs firing on all cylinders.
Even without star forward Patrick Kane, the defending Stanley Cup champions
showed signs of moving in the right direction Tuesday night. Andrew Shaw and
Duncan Keith each had a goal and an assist, and Chicago held on for a 4-2 win
over the Dallas Stars. "We did some good things throughout the game," Blackhawks
coach Joel Quenneville said. "All four lines were contributing and our special
teams were good as well. Good win." Kris Versteeg and Marian Hossa also scored
for Chicago, which needs just one more point to clinch a playoff berth for the
sixth straight season. Patrick Sharp added two assists to help Chicago finish
4-1 against Dallas in the Central Division rivals regular-season series. "It was
a big win tonight," said Keith, second in scoring among defencemen with 57
points. "Theyre a hungry team, fighting for their playoff lives." Ryan Garbutt
scored twice for the Stars, who fell three points behind Phoenix for the final
Western Conference playoff berth. Dallas matched Chicagos speed and effort
early, but eventually the Blackhawks took over and built a 3-1 lead. Garbutts
second goal cut it to 3-2 late in the third, but Hossa empty-netter sealed the
Blackhawks solid effort. Chicagos Corey Crawford made 25 saves, while Dallas
Kari Lehtonen blocked 38 shots. "Theyre a fast team, can really skate," Crawford
said. "They got the jump early and then our D were able to shut them down really
good. "They really shut down everything in the third period." Dallas
Tyler Seguin set up Garbutts goal in the second period to extend his point
streak to 10 games. He has seven goals and 10 assists during the run. Blackhawks
top prospect Teuvo Teravainen didnt record a point in his NHL debut, but logged
11 minutes and 39 seconds of ice time. The 19-year-old forward was Chicagos
first-round draft pick in 2012 and led his team in Finland, Jokerit, in scoring
this season. Chicago played its third game without Kane, who is on long-term
injured reserve and may miss the rest of the regular season. Dallas had several
good chances early, including Garbutts breakaway just over 2 minutes in.
Crawford stopped his close-in rising shot with a glove save. "We hung around the
first 10 minutes and Garbutt had the breakaway,"t; Stars coach Lindy Ruff said.

from us. "We slowed the game down and they sped it up all the time." Chicago
took charge as the period progressed, then Shaws power-play goal with 18 seconds
left in the first opened the scoring. Shaw swept in a rebound of Sharps shot
from the blue line with a highlight-reel effort. Shaw was knocked to the ice by
Dallas defenceman Trevor Daley in the crease, but backhanded in the loose puck
as he fell to his knees and while facing away from the net. Versteeg was
credited with a goal at 4:12 of the second that made it 2-0. After Dallas
Antoine Roussel failed to clear the puck, Versteeg slid a pass toward Hossa who
was cruising in down the slot. Rousell reached with his stick to break up the
pass, but deflected the pucks past Lehtonen. Garbutt didnt miss on his second
breakaway of the game, and cut it to 2-1 midway through the second. He skated in
behind the Blackhawks defence after Seguin banked a pass off the left boards
from the Stars zone. Garbutt cut across the crease and slipped a backhander
between Crawfords pads. Keith restored Chicagos two-goal lead at 3-1 with 5:45
left in the period on a fluttering screened shot from the left point. Garbutts
second goal cut it to 3-2 with 5:40 left in the third. Following Nick Leddys
turnover in the right corner of the Chicago zone, Garbutt carried the puck to
the net. Crawford stopped his first shot, but Garbutt stuffed in the rebound
from right side of the goal. "Its too bad we couldnt get the third (goal)
there," Garbutt said. "Its doesnt matter if its pretty or not this time of year.
"Well just take what we can get and need to start scoring more as a team." Hossa
fired into an empty net with 33.3 seconds left to complete the scoring. Notes:
