The Chicago Blackhawks rallied from a two-goal deficit for the third straight game, and this time they had to overcome defensive lapses and rally twice to secure a 5-4 win against the Seattle Kraken on Sunday at the United Center.
Tyler Johnson scored his second game-tying goal of the game and Jason Dickinson scored 13 seconds later during a furious third-period rally.

With the game tied 3-3 in the second period, the Kraken had a two-on-two rush when Vince Dunn beat Patrick Kane coming into the zone and crashed down the middle. Dunn had plenty of room in the slot to fire past Alex Stalock for the go-ahead goal.
In the Hawks’ previous two games, the San Jose Sharks and Detroit Red Wings also took 2-0 leads, but in each game the Hawks took over in the second period, allowing only one combined goal — to former Hawk Dominik Kubalik, now with the Red Wings.

On Sunday the Hawks went on a tear late in the first and early in the second.
During a penalty kill, Jujhar Khaira took a feed from Colin Blackwell to give the Hawks their fourth short-handed goal of the season. They entered Sunday already leading the NHL in that category.
The Hawks added two more goals in the next 3½ minutes.
Johnson was in perfect position on the left flank for the rebound of a Seth Jones shot and tied the game 2-2 with 42 seconds left in the first.
Max Domi scored his third goal of the season 32 seconds into the second period on the Hawks’ second power play.
The Kraken’s Matty Beniers answered 19 seconds later, and Dunn added his goal midway through the second.
Stalock had 29 saves after taking over as the main man in net when the Hawks placed Petr Mrázek on injured reserve.
