In the third period, Jason Dickinson quickly added to the Blackhawks' lead, scoring his first goal of the season just 2:19 in as Joey Anderson set him up with a pass from behind the net. The Sharks answered 33 seconds later with a deflected goal, but it wasn't enough to close the gap.

The Hawks controlled play throughout their 4-2 victory Thursday as Teuvo Teravainen propelled the power play and Lukas Reichel returned to the lineup.
