Rookie Dominik Kubalik scored twice, and Jonathan Toews had a goal and an assist to lead the host Chicago Blackhawks to a 4-2 victory against the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night. Goaltender Robin Lehner stopped 35 of 37 shots in his return from injury, as Chicago snapped a two-game losing streak to conclude a four-game homestand with a 2-2 mark. The Ducks fell to 6-14-2 away from Honda Center as they opened a five-game road trip. Max Jones buried a feed from Ondrej Kase past Lehner, as a firm forecheck on Murphy forced a turnover behind the net that created the opportunity. Moments after hitting the post to miss a wide-open net, Toews finished a rush by wristing a shot through the five-hole of Ducks goalie John Gibson.
