SAN JOSE, Calif. — Sam Lafferty scored short-handed goals on back-to-back penalties in the second period to give coach Luke Richardson his first career win in the Chicago Blackhawks' 5-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night. Jonathan Toews also scored in the second period as the Blackhawks scored three times in a span of 3:14 to erase a two-goal deficit. San Jose was in good shape after the first period before a turnover and a shoddy power-play led to another loss for first-year Sharks coach David Quinn. Lafferty became the first Blackhawks player to score two short-handed goals in the same game since Rene Bourque did it on Feb. 28, 2008, against Dallas. Wilson helped build San Jose into a perennial contender during his 19 seasons.
