Blackhawks 3, Blue Jackets 2: Captain Jonathan Toews capitalized on a turnover six minutes into the third period as the visiting Blackhawks matched their best start in franchise history.

Dave Bolland and Bryan Bickell also scored for the Blackhawks, who improved to 5-0-0 to start the season for the first time since 1971-72. Corey Crawford made 24 saves for his fourth win.

Mark Letestu opened the scoring 7:35 into the first period and Artem Anisimov brought the Blue Jackets within one late in the third, but Columbus remained winless in four games since defeating Nashville in a shootout in its season opener.

With Chicago up 2-1 in the third period, Marian Hossa stole the puck from Letestu before the Columbus center could clear the zone and sent it to Patrick Kane, who passed it to a wide-open Toews in the slot for the game-winner. Kane also assisted on Bolland’s goal and has seven on the season.

Steve Mason stopped 21 shots for the Blue Jackets.
