bigger-bodied opponents last season.His ability to play

DALLAS -- After a fast start, the Chicago Blackhawks came up with a big finish.Patrick Kane assisted on a goal 11 seconds into the game, then scored the go-ahead goal in the second period of Chicagos 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars on Saturday night.Chicagos penalty killers and goalie Corey Crawford kept the Stars from scoring on a power play over the last 1:49. The Blackhawks extended their winning streak to five games, and are 6-0-1 in their last seven.Dallas is 1-3-1 in the last five games.I thought we did some decent things in the second half of the game, Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said.Big saves, big clears and working together, Quenneville said of the game-saving penalty kill.Kanes 46 points (20 goals, 26 assists) against Dallas are his most against any team, in only 36 games.Chicago erased a 2-1 deficit with second-period goals by Ryan Hartman at 2:59 and Kane on the power play at 7:40 against Stars goalie Antti Niemi.Teammates to the left of the net were occupying Niemi. Kane skated in from the right to put the puck into a nearly empty right side when it came across from Artem Anisimov.Really anybody could have scored that goal standing in the back door, Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said. Hes a world-class player in this league. We were able to handle his speed, but he knows where to go. It was a mishit, but it went over and he was in the right spot.The Blackhawks scored 11 seconds into the game when Richard Panik scored his seventh goal by wristing in the rebound of a shot by Kane.You probably couldnt ask for a better start, Kane said.Dallas took a 2-1 lead on goals by Brett Ritchie at 7:21 of the first and Curtis McKenzie at 9:49.Crawford held the Stars scoreless after that. He finished with 31 saves, four on the last power play.It was a great job by our PK to keep them on the outside and stay patient, Crawford said. A couple key moments, we were able to get the puck outside of the zone.If the Stars could have scored to tie the game, they still would have had a power play in overtime, because the Blackhawks Marcus Kruger had been assessed a double minor for high sticking.Its always been a strength of our team, blocking shots, killing penalties, Kane said.Niemi made 29 saves.Ritchie tied the score when he skated into the slot, took a pass from Antoine Roussel and put in a wrist shot off Crawfords left arm.Less than 3 minutes later, Stephen Johns sent a shot from the right point. There followed a scramble with three players from each team around Crawford. Rookie Gemel Smith poked at the puck, which went in off McKenzies right skate.Hartman ended a 32-second flurry of four good chances for Chicago by driving a slap shot from the right faceoff circle past Niemi to tie the game at 2.Game notes The Blackhawks activated LW Andrew Desjardins from injured reserve on Saturday, but he was inactive.

Brisbane Roar have added much-needed steel to their midfield by signing former Danish international Thomas Kristensen for the upcoming A-League season.Kristensen, 33, is a direct replacement for the Roars reigning player of the year Corona, who made a surprising return to Spain earlier this month despite having a year left to run on his contract.Much like Corona, Kristensen brings a wealth of experience to Brisbane, having played seven seasons for top Danish club FC Copenhagen before spending the last two years in the Dutch Eredivisie with ADO Den Haag.But unlike the diminutive Spaniard, Kristensen is a more defensively-minded player who is not afraid to put his imposing 188cm frame on the line - a bonus for coach John Aloisi, who believes his side were often bullied by bigger-bodied opponents last season.His ability to play the ball will suit our style, but hell give us that balancee defensively we need as well, Aloisi told reporters on Wednesday.ddddddddddddKristensen said he knew little about the A-League, but his interest was piqued when former international teammate and good friend Morten Nordstrand signed for the Newcastle Jets midway through last season.Despite his advancing years, Kristensen has a reasonably clean injury record and believes he has plenty of football still left in him.From what I see, (Brisbane) is a club thats usually in the top. Hopefully we can play for the championship, he said.Kristensens contract with the Roar does not officially begin until August 1, meaning he wont be involved in Fridays behind-closed-doors pre-season friendly against the Western Sydney Wanderers at Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast.
