CHICAGO -- Patrick Kane scored the 200th goal of his career, and Andrew Shaw scored two goals to help the Chicago Blackhawks break out of a slump with a 6-1 victory against the Arizona Coyotes at United Center on Tuesday.
The win ended a two-game losing streak for the Blackhawks (29-15-2), who won in Joel Quenneville's 500th game as Chicago coach.
The Blackhawks will play their next seven games on the road, starting with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday.
Arizona (16-25-5) has lost its past six games (0-5-1) and is 2-7-1 in its past 10.
Chicago rookie forward Teuvo Teravainen scored a goal and had an assist on Shaw's first goal for his first career multipoint game, captain Jonathan Toews scored his first goal since Dec. 21 (11 games), and defenseman David Rundblad scored his second goal of the season to complete the scoring in the third.
Forwards Bryan Bickell and Patrick Sharp each finished with two assists, and goalie Antti Raanta made 35 saves for the win.
The Blackhawks took a 2-0 lead into the second on goals by Toews and Shaw.
Toews broke through first with his 14th goal to make it 1-0 at 6:53 to cap a power play after Arizona forward Lucas Lessio was called for tripping. Crisp passes in the offensive zone by Sharp and Kane got the puck to Toews in the slot, and Toews did the rest with a hard wrist shot to beat Coyotes goalie Mike Smith (45 saves).
Shaw, who had one goal in his previous 22 games, made it 2-0 at 12:48 of the first with his seventh goal.
Bickell won a puck battle behind the Coyotes net, and Shaw went straight to the front of the crease, received a pass from Teravainen on the right wing, wheeled and shot the puck past Smith.
Chicago scored three more times in the second to make it 5-1 after 40 minutes on Kane's milestone goal at 3:51, Teravainen's second goal of the season at 9:42 and Shaw's second of the game3 at 19:19. Kane and Terevainen put in rebounds allowed by Smith. Teravainen scored off a follow of his own shot. Shaw scored with a wrist shot from the slot.
Rundblad scored the lone goal of the third at 14:11.
