Patrick Kane scored his second goal of the game at 2:42 of overtime and the visiting Chicago Blackhawks won for the 10th time in 12 games, topping the Detroit Red Wings 5-4 on Wednesday.

Kane stretched his point streak to 19 games, an NHL high this season. However, his assists streak ended at 17 consecutive games, tied for the third-longest such streak in NHL history.

In OT, Kane fired a shot from the right circle past goaltender Jonathan Bernier after passes from Erik Gustafsson and Jonathan Toews.

Artem Anisimov, Brandon Saad and Alex DeBrincat also scored for Chicago, which squandered a 4-1 lead in the third period. Gustafsson had three assists.

Dylan Larkin and Andreas Athanasiou scored two goals apiece for Detroit. Anthony Mantha assisted on all four goals.

Chicago led 3-1 after the first period.

Anisimov scored his 10th goal just 1:39 into the game. Goalie Jimmy Howard tried to play the puck from behind the net to one of his defensemen, but Anisimov stole it and backhanded it into the net.

Larkin tied it at the 6:37 mark with a shot from the right circle after Mantha won a battle for the puck behind the net.

Saad scored his 21st goal at the 12:04 mark. Dylan Sikura and goalie Cam Ward were credited with assists.

The Blackhawks made it 3-1 at 16:51 when Dylan Strome slid a pass in the offensive zone to DeBrincat, who fired a shot from the right circle over Howard's left shoulder.

Kane scored the only second-period goal on a two-on-one rush after receiving a pass from Gustafsson in the defensive zone. Kane fired a shot from the right circle past Howard on the stick side. Detroit coach Jeff Blashill then pulled Howard in favor of Bernier.

Larkin scored his second goal of the night at 4:19 of the third.

Athanasiou scored at 5:23 of the third period on the power play, lifting a shot near the post over Ward's right shoulder.

With Detroit's net empty, Athanasiou knotted it with 1:26 remaining in regulation. Mantha slid a pass to the side of the net, where Athanasiou banged it home.

Ward stopped 31 shots in the win. Bernier saved 11 of the 12 shots he faced after Howard gave up four goals on eight shots.
