MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. — Duncan Keith’s shot looked pretty harmless, yet it got past Martin Jones anyway.
It was the game-winning goal in the Blackhawks’ 5-2 decision over the San Jose Sharks, as well as Keith’s third goal of the season. Even better, it was Keith’s 78th career goal, lifting him to fourth overall all-time among the Blackhawks’ defensemen.
“Well, I didn’t know that,” said Keith, who moved ahead of Pierre Pilote on the list. “It feels nice. But I know that at the end of the day, it means I’ve been here for a while. I still think I need to score a lot more goals.
