Blackhawks' Shootout Win Halts Eight-game Slide

NEW YORK - The Chicago Blackhawks brought a miserable eight-game losing streak to an end on Sunday with a 3-2 shootout road victory over the Nashville Predators.

Patrick Sharp, who opened the scoring in the second period, netted in the third round of the shootout to seal Chicago's first win of 2008.

"We really fought hard for that win," Sharp told reporters. "We fought and Patrick Lalime stood on his head and saved the game for us a number of times."

Netminder Lalime made 35 saves in regulation and overtime and stopped two of three shots by the Predators in the shootout.

Robert Lang also scored for the Blackhawks while Marek Zidlicky and David Legwand tallied for the Predators.

"It wasn't our best game but at least we battled," Blackhawks coach Denis Savard said.

"The bottom line is we got the win. That's all that matters."

* Francois Beauchemin's goal 33 seconds into overtime led the Anaheim Ducks to their sixth consecutive home win, a 4-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks. San Jose had won 10 in a row on the road before Sunday's loss.

* Rookie defenseman Alex Edler had the only goal of a shootout as the Vancouver Canucks edged the St Louis Blues 4-3.
