Chicago – These used to be epic battles.
Not so much anymore, although the Chicago Blackhawks are looking as if they might have one more burst of playoff energy left in them.
They won their seventh consecutive game Sunday, while sending the stumbling Red Wings to their third straight loss, 5-2.
Christoffer Ehn and Gustav Nyquist had the Wings’ goals, who again had too many stretches of ineffective hockey.
Dominik Kahun had two goals, and Dylan Strome and Patrick Kane had the other goals for the Blackhawks.
