CHICAGO – Patrick Sharp scored with 4:10 left to give the Blackhawks a 3-2 victory against the Montreal Canadiens on Friday night.
Set up by Patrick Kane's centering pass, Sharp ripped a shot from between the circles past Carey Price to hand the Canadiens' their fifth consecutive road loss.
Kris Vertseeg and Cam Barker each had a goal and an assist. Barker's power-play goal was only the Hawks' second in their past six games.
Cristobal Huet stopped 20 shots in his fourth consecutive start and beat the Canadiens, one of his former teams, for first time in three games.
Montreal's Mike Cammalleri and Travis Moen scored 4:02 apart late in second period to erase a 2-0 Hawks lead.
