Jonathan Toews and Patrick Sharp each had a goal and two assists and the Chicago Blackhawks ended a lengthy nine-game road swing with a 6-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.

Patrick Kane added a goal and a helper and Viktor Stalberg continued his magic touch against the Blue Jackets with a goal. Stalberg has scored eight times against Columbus in five games this season — matching his total against the rest of the NHL in 51 games.

Corey Crawford had 33 saves as the Blackhawks won their second in a row after ending a nine-game losing skid with a 4-2 win at the New York Rangers on Thursday night.

Derick Brassard had the lone goal for Columbus, which has lost all five meetings with Chicago this season.

Marcus Kruger and Sami Lepisto added third-period goals for the Blackhawks, who matched their season high in goals.

The game was played before a sell-out crowd of 18,663 — with a high percentage of them rooting for the Blackhawks.

The Blackhawks, who averaged fewer than two goals a game in the losing streak, had two in the first period. And didn't let up.

The Blue Jackets had the upper hand for the first 10 minutes. Lepisto, who played last year in Columbus before being traded at the deadline, passed directly to his former teammate to set up Brassard's goal. Brassard skated between the hash marks and rocketed a forehand past Crawford.

Columbus had a chance to make it 2-0 soon after, but R.J. Umberger's second shot from in close got past Crawford only to have Brent Seabrook sweep the puck away as it bounced near the goal line.

Toews then evened things with his 29th, carrying speed in from the left wing and roaring past Jeff Carter to slide the puck between the leg pads of Blue Jackets goalie Steve Mason. The response in the arena wasn't nearly as loud as it might have been at United Center, but it was close.

Stalberg — who else? — then gave Chicago the lead. Mason mishandled a puck at the back wall and had to scramble back into the net. Meanwhile, Bryan Bickell whisked a centering pass from the left corner, with Stalberg reaching around rookie defenseman John Moore to beat Mason.

Up 2-1 in the second, the Blackhawks pulled away with two more goals to send Mason to the bench.

Kane slid a perfect cross-ice pass to Sharp who was all alone at the left doorstep for a one-timer for his 24th of the year.

Less than 2 minutes later, Kane's wrister from the high slot appeared to catch Mason by surprise, the puck dribbling behind him and into the net. He was pulled and replaced with rookie Allen York after making 16 stops on 20 shots.

Mason could be seen yelling at a fan as he came to the bench.

Kruger and Lepisto then scored 49 seconds apart early in the third to make it 6-1.
