Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Strome scored, Patrick Kane collected two assists and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 22 shots as the host Chicago Blackhawks stretched their winning streak to three with a 2-1 victory against the Phoenix Coyotes on Friday night.

Each Chicago win during the surge has come under interim coach Derek King, who took the reins Saturday when the organization fired coach Jeremy Colliton.

The Blackhawks outshot the Coyotes 29-23. Strome netted the game-winner, his first goal of the season, on the power play with 10:34 left in regulation.

Chicago opened the scoring with 14:34 left in the second period. Gathering the puck on a delayed penalty, Kane blazed down the ice on an end-to-end rush, then backhanded a cross-ice pass to DeBrincat, who one-timed a slap shot from just outside the left circle to beat Arizona goaltender Scott Wedgewood.

The Coyotes challenged the play, contending they had touched the puck before the goal was scored. The challenge failed, however, and Chicago was awarded a power play.

The Blackhawks were unable to convert as part of a 1-for-5 night with the man advantage.

Arizona has lost 13 of its 14 games in the first month-plus of the season, with the lone victory coming Saturday against the expansion Seattle Kraken.

Friday nearly marked the fourth time the club has been blanked in 2021-22, but the Coyotes avoided the shutout when former Blackhawk Andrew Ladd scored on the power play 1:41 into the third period, capitalizing on a screen in front of Fleury.

The Blackhawks' Kirby Dach absorbed a high hit from the Coyotes' Kyle Capobianco midway through the third period. There was no penalty on the play. Dach went to the locker room as he bled from the mouth. Dach returned to the game, but not before Strome assumed his spot on the power play unit to tally the eventual game-winning goal.

Phil Kessel had two shots on goal for the Coyotes while playing in his 913th straight game, tying Garry Unger for the third longest streak in NHL history.
