CHICAGO -- If the Chicago Blackhawks are to extend their current winning streak by sweeping a weekend home-and-home series with the Dallas Stars, theyll need end a skid against their Central Division rivals at the United Center.Chicago goes for its sixth win in a row Sunday evening when it meets Dallas for the second time in as many days.The Blackhawks (8-3-1) stretched their streak to five games with a 3-2 win over the Stars on Saturday night.I dont think anyone realizes were on a little streak like that, Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said. Were just focusing on trying to improve every single day.However, Chicago has been outscored 16-7 while dropping three in a row -- all in regulation -- on the West Side against Dallas. Chicago hasnt lost four straight at home to the Stars since Oct. 13, 1996-Oct. 24, 1997.Chicago got goals Saturday from Richard Panik, Ryan Hartman and Patrick Kane, who also had an assist, and 31 saves from Corey Crawford.Kane, the first U.S.-born Hart Trophy winner, has registered points in six of his last seven games, totaling three goals and six assists. He also believes the club can do more.I thought tonight was a little bit better of a game, all-around for us, and we can still can improve, Kane told the Chicago Sun-Times. Its good were winning these games, knowing we can be better.Chicago has scored 18 goals during its winning streak, but as impressive as that might be, there might not be a goaltender in the league playing better right now than Crawford. After yielding 13 goals while going 1-3-1 in his first four games this season, Crawford has given up just seven goals in six games, posting a record of 5-0-1.However, Crawford will have something to prove against the Stars. He has lost his last two home starts against Dallas, playing just 78 minutes and posting a 6.90 goals-against average with a .824 save percentage.Brett Richie and Curtis McKenzie scored first-period goals Saturday for the Stars, who failed again to post consecutive wins for the first time this season, and dropped to 0-2-1 in their last three games.Dallas is 1-3-1 on the road and has surrendered at least one power-play goal in each of five road games this season. Chicago, meanwhile, has killed off 12 straight short-handed situations in the last four games.Theyve got a good team, and we have to handle that a little, Stars coach Lindy Ruff told the Dallas Morning News.Injuries to key players have contributed to the slow start by Dallas (4-5-2).Patrick Sharp, a former fan favorite who played nine-plus seasons for Chicago, is on injured reserve with concussion-like symptoms. Also on injured reserve are Ales Hemsky (hip), Mattias Janmark (knee) and Cody Eakin (knee).And the list grew Sunday. Jiri Hudler, who had been on IR with an illness earlier in the season, was moved back to the list on Sunday morning.No good news, Ruff said. Still struggling with whatever type of virus he has.Jason Spezza, who has four goals in nine games so far, left after the second period with an upper body injury. Ruff said after the game that Spezza will miss some time.Former Blackhawks goaltender Antti Niemi made 29 saves Saturday, but Kari Lethonen might get the start in net for this game. Lehtonen has surrendered 10 goals en route to an 0-2-1 record in his last three starts overall, but only seven shots have gotten past him while winning his last three starts in Chicago.Chicago right winger Marian Hossa, who scored his 500th NHL goal on Oct. 18, is two points shy of 1,100 for his career. Hossa ranks fourth among active players in points behind Jaromir Jagr, Joe Thornton and Jarome Iginla.

Dan Majerle Suns Jersey .500 on the season. The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. http://www.officialsunsfanstore.com/kelly-oubre-jr-suns-jersey/ .R.

Dukurs winning time was 1 minute, 45.76 seconds, a quarter-second better than Russias Alexander Tretiakov. Lativas Tomass Dukurs was third, 1.41 seconds off the pace. Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. NEW YORK -- The minute he got ejected, Mike Napoli screamed and pointed right in the face of plate umpire Lance Barrett.Cleveland manager Terry Francona arrived a moment or two after that -- already too late to keep his cleanup hitter in the game -- and shook his head slightly before shuffling back to the dugout.No doubt, it was a frustrating week for the first-place Indians.Masahiro Tanaka rebounded from two rocky outings, Didi Gregorius homered on his bobblehead day and the New York Yankees held off Cleveland 3-2 Sunday after announcing that Alex Rodriguez will soon play his final game in pinstripes.Its been a difficult week, but I think everybodys ready to move on, Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis said.Cleveland, which remained two games ahead of Detroit, has dropped five of seven.Carlos Carrasco (7-6) also bounced back from a poor start and struck out nine in seven solid innings for the Indians, who tried to rally late but were unable to take advantage of three New York errors.I thought he was pretty good, Francona said. It seemed like every pitch he really paid for. It was never a single, it was a homer, double or triple. All three hurt us.The right-hander has lost three consecutive starts for the first time since dropping five straight in July 2011.I thought he pitched more than good enough to win the game. This one was on the offense, Kipnis said.Mark Teixeira, two days since disclosing his own plans to retire at the end of the season, hit an RBI double for the Yankees and dove toward first base to complete a crucial play on defense.Dellin Betances got four outs for his second save as New York took two of three from the AL Central leaders and won the season series 5-2.An irate Napoli was quickly tossed when he protested a called third strike in the eighth. The slugger, who jawed extensively with Barrett after strike two, got right into the umpires face and might have nicked him with the bill of his helmet.Hit hard by the Mets in a Subway Series loss last week, Tanaka (8-4) was lifted with a 3-0 lead following Rajai Davis leadoff double in the seventh.We swung at a lot of bad pitches, Davis said. We were maybe a little bit overaggressive.Davis scored when Adam Warren gave up an RBI single to No. 9 batter Roberto Perez, his second hit of the dayy after entering 2 for 40 (.dddddddddddd050) this season.With two on, the 36-year-old Teixeira went to his knees for a sliding stop of Francisco Lindors two-out grounder behind first base. Teixeira gathered himself and barely beat Lindor to the bag with his outstretched mitt as both players dove headfirst.The effort drew cheers from a crowd of 39,720 that also gave Tanaka a warm ovation as he walked off the mound.Cleveland scored an unearned run on a wild pitch in the eighth and nearly got something going in the ninth.Chris Gimenez short-hopped the left-field fence with a leadoff drive but was held to a single by Brett Gardner. Second baseman Starlin Castro then started a difficult double play on Carlos Santanas sharp grounder, and Betances struck out Kipnis to end it.We just didnt get that big hit, Davis said.Gardner hit a leadoff triple in the first and scored on Jacoby Ellsburys sacrifice fly.Tanaka struck out eight and walked none.I thought on a day when he especially wasnt overpowering, his secondary pitches were really effective. Every time we tried to pull him, we played into his hand, Francona said. He knows how to pitch.About 2 hours before the game, Rodriguez and the rebuilding Yankees (56-55) announced the slumping slugger will play Friday night against Tampa Bay at Yankee Stadium and then be released. After that, he plans to become a special adviser and instructor with the organization next year.This is a tough day. I love this game and I love this team, the 41-year-old Rodriguez said, often choking up. And today Im saying goodbye to both.YER OUTTA HERENapoli, who leads the team with 28 homers and 79 RBI, was ejected for the sixth time in his career.STREAKINGJose Ramirez had two hits and scored once, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 12 games. He is batting .426 during the streak.UP NEXTFollowing an off day, Cleveland opens a two-game interleague series at NL East-leading Washington. Good test right there, Kipnis said. RHP Trevor Bauer (7-5, 4.08 ERA) starts Tuesday night against All-Star RHP Max Scherzer (12-6, 2.87). RHP Josh Tomlin will pitch Wednesday for the Indians instead of RHP Mike Clevinger. ' ' '
