OTTAWA -- Mike Hoffman scored 30 seconds into overtime to give the Ottawa Senators a 4-3 win against the Chicago Blackhawks at Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday.
Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane tied Bobby Hull's franchise record 21-game point streak with a goal and two assists. The Blackhawks (13-9-4) have lost three in a row.
Kane has 13 goals and 22 assists during his streak, which started Oct. 17. He tied Hull's record with a power-play goal in the second period, and assisted on goals by Artemi Panarin and Artem Anisimov.
Hoffman scored the winner when he took a pass from Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson and put a shot just under the crossbar.
Hoffman, who also scored the first goal of the game, hit the post as time expired in the third period.
Bobby Ryan and Mark Stone scored for the Senators (13-7-5). Ryan had two assists.
Chicago goaltender Corey Crawford made 23 saves; Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson made 35.
Anisimov tied the game 3-3 at 12:34 of the third period, taking a clever pass from Kane, who started to circle behind the Ottawa net before slipping a backhand to Anisimov in front.
The Senators led 3-2 after Stone's power-play goal at 3:54 of the third period.
Behind 2-0, the Blackhawks dominated the second period, getting goals from Kane and Panarin to tie the game.
Kane scored his 16th goal of the season at 2:20 of the second period with the Blackhawks on a 5-on-3 power play. Ottawa's Marc Methot was penalized for closing his hand on the puck, and four seconds later, defenseman Jared Cowen was penalized for delay of game when his clearing attempt went into the crowd.
Panarin tied the game at 6:52 on a play seen frequently in the Ottawa zone this season. He took a drop pass from Kane near the left point and was free to skate into the middle of the ice and down the slot to score his eighth goal of the season.
The Senators took a 2-0 first-period lead on goals by Hoffman and Ryan.
Some good work chasing down loose pucks in the Chicago zone led to Hoffman's 12th goal of the season at 1:32 of the first period. The last one in the sequence was grabbed by Kyle Turris to Crawford's right, and Turris set up Hoffman up in the left-wing circle.
Ryan scored his sixth of the season at 7:42 on a power play. He took a pass from Karlsson and skated in on the right side before his shot went in over Crawford's left shoulder.
