OTTAWA -- There was less than a second left in regulation time Thursday night when Ottawa Senators winger Mike Hoffman took a pass from defensemen Erik Karlsson and wired a shot off the goal post.

Thirty seconds into overtime on an identical play, Hoffman made no mistake.

"It was very similar," Hoffman said after his second of the night helped the Senators defeat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 at Canadian Tire Centre. "I didn't think Karl was going to pass it to me that early. I didn't really want him to ... I was hoping for maybe a back-door tap in, but he gave it to me at that time, and I guess it worked out."

Hoffman's heroics upstaged Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane, who had a goal and two assists to stretch his consecutive games point scoring streak to 21 games, tying a franchise record set by Bobby Hull.

"It's one of those things I'm not too worried about when I'm playing the game," Kane said of the record. "I guess when you're tied for anything with Bobby Hull it's pretty special, considering the career that guy had."

Kane's linemates, center Artem Anisimov and winger Artemi Panarin, had the other Chicago goals.

Along with the pair by Hoffman that gives him nine goals in his last eight games, winger Bobby Ryan had a goal and two assists for the Senators, while winger Mark Stone had the other Ottawa goal.

Karlsson had three assists.

"I wanted a breakaway but so did Hoff, so I had to give it to him," Karlsson said of the winner. "He had a better chance."

Senators goalie Craig Anderson was a busy man, stopping 35 shots. Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford made 23 saves.

"He's a good player, he's world class," Anderson, a Chicago native, said of Kane. "I'm just glad I could help my fellow American try to win the scoring race."

The result stopped the Senators losing streak at two games while extended the Blackhawks losing streak to a season-high three games.

"I'm disappointed, not happy," said Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews. "It's another example of a game where we had spurts where we controlled the game. We ended up giving a couple of weak power play goals where we let the guy walk right in, giving up shots from the slot. It's not fun to lose those games, especially when we're playing pretty good hockey and it's just little defensive letdowns that are costing us points the last little while."

Goals by Hoffman and Ryan gave the Senators a 2-0 lead after one period, but Kane and Panarin tied it in the second.

Stone put the Senators ahead by batting in a rebound early in the third, but again the Blackhawks bounced back when Anisimov converted a brilliant Kane set up with just over seven minutes left.

That set the stage for Hoffman and Karlsson to take over.

On the winner, Karlsson outraced Kane for a puck down the right wing boards, right in front of the two benches. Asked if he got wind burn as the pair of speedsters skated by him, Senators coach Dave Cameron said no.

"But my eyes watered," Cameron deadpanned.

"We got off to a great start then got back on our heels, maybe playing a little too cautious in that second period," said Cameron, whose power play went 2-for-4 despite missing first unit players in injured center Mika Zibanejad and winger Milan Michalek. "That's the worst thing you can do against a team with that much skill, but we regrouped in the third and found a way to get a huge win out of here."

Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville was asked if he felt like he had a one-line team these days.

"I thought we had a good rotation in the second period," he said. "We had a four line rotation going, great chances, good opportunities to score and to me, that's what we're looking for.

"If we get breakaways, we get high quality stuff, they're going to go in. That's one thing about our team, I never worry about scoring goals."

On Kane tying Hull's record, Quenneville added:

"He's been doing it game in, game out, shift in shift out. He's been fun to watch. He makes plays over the course of the game that wow you. The fans, he entertains them whether you're the home or the road team. He's been special."
