2021-11-08 09:20:46 GMT+00:00 - Alex DeBrincat scored 37 seconds into overtime and Kevin Lankinen made 20 saves to lift the host Chicago Blackhawks to a 2-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Sunday night in the team"s first game under interim coach Derek King. Leading an odd-man rush with Patrick Kane early in the extra period, DeBrincat took a brilliant backhand pass from Kane to beat Nashville goaltender Juuse Saros. DeBrincat scurried to collect the game puck for King, who was promoted from the Blackhawks" American Hockey League affiliate in Rockford, Ill., after Chicago fired coach Jeremy Colliton on Saturday following a 1-9-2 start. King, 54, ascended to the head role at Rockford after Colliton was hired from the farm club to replace the fired Joel Quenneville in early November 2018. Wild 5, Islanders 2 Brandon Duhaime scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period and notched an assist as Minnesota rallied past New York in Saint Paul, Minn. Ryan Hartman and Matt Dumba also finished with a goal and an assist for Minnesota, which notched four unanswered goals in the third period to earn its second win in as many nights. Nick Bjugstad scored for the Wild, while Jonas Brodin and Dumba added empty-net goals to seal the win. Anders Lee scored both goals for New York, and Mathew Barzal collected a pair of assists.
