SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) -- Jonathan Toews had a goal and two assists and Corey Crawford made 37 saves in his 400th NHL game to help the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Florida Panthers 4-1 on Saturday night.

Toews stretched the Blackhawks lead to 4-1 with 2:52 left in the second. An awkward backhanded shot from Toews in the right circle caught Luongo by surprise and the puck trickled through his pads and into the net.
The Panthers closed to 2-1 on McCann's goal 1:06 into the second. McCann's shot from the high slot beat Crawford on the glove side.
The Blackhawks opened the scoring on Hayden's goal at 9:25 of the first. Florida's Derek MacKenzie failed to clear the puck in the slot and it ended up on Hayden's stick and he quickly shot the puck over Luongo's shoulder.

The Panthers were outshot 21-7 in the first period but started the second outshooting the Blackhawks 13-1 until Kane's goal.
