From Associated Press

The Chicago Blackhawks rallied for three goals in the third period and snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Flames at Calgary Monday night.

Chicago also ended Calgary’s six-game winning streak. The Flames have not beaten the Blackhawks since Oct. 24, 1991.

Jeremy Roenick tied the score at 3:24 of the third. He carried the puck across the blue line, skated in past Calgary’s Dan Keczmer and beat goalie Mike Vernon.

The game-winner came less than five minutes later when Christian Ruuttu got a piece of a loose puck in front of the net. Joe Murphy added a goal at 11:47.

New York Rangers 4, Quebec 2--Steve Larmer scored two power-play goals and Sergei Zubov had three assists at Quebec as the Rangers extended Quebec’s losing streak to four games.

Mark Messier, who had a shorthanded goal, said: “We wanted to take advantage of the penalty-killing and power-play situations, and we’ve got to be happy about the way things went.”

Ranger goalie Mike Richter, 8-1-1 in his last 10 games, now has a league-leading 27 victories.
