Kane stick-handled his way to the net before flipping the puck past Islanders goaltender Robin Lehner and into the net to give Chicago back-to-back victories.

Chicago goaltender Cam Ward stopped both shot attempts by Josh Bailey and Mathew Barzal. Ward received the game’s No. 1 star after his 34-save performance.
Toews is 47.3 percent in his NHL career on shootout attempts, while Kane is 40 percent.
The Blackhawks will have a nine-day break as the NHL All-Star break begins Thursday and the team rolls right into their bye week after it. Kane will be the Blackhawks lone representative at the All-Star weekend at SAP Center in San Jose, California.
