CHICAGO â Patrick Kane is finally on a roll, and so are the Chicago Blackhawks.

Kane scored two slick goals, Corey Crawford made 27 saves and the Blackhawks beat the Minnesota Wild 4-1 Sunday night for their season-high fifth straight win.

Kane, who has seven points in his last four games, connected on a one-timer and a breakaway to give him 14 goals this season and four in the last three games. The flashy Chicago forward's 298th and 299th career goals moved him into fifth place in team history, ahead of Dennis Hull.

That craft is creating offence, and the 29-year-old Chicago star seems like he's back in form.

Ryan Hartman also scored for Chicago, snapping a 17-game drought dating to Oct. 28. Tommy Wingels added a short-handed empty-netter as the Blackhawks followed up on a 5-1 win at Winnipeg on Thursday with another strong effort against a Central Division rival.

"I think everyone in here knows we can do it," Crawford said. "We've got a dangerous offence and our D are playing great. It's been fun hockey."

Alex Stalock made 42 saves his third straight start in place of Minnesota No. 1 goalie Devan Dubnyk, who is sidelined with a lower-body injury. He helped keep the Wild, who snuffed all six Chicago power-plays, close in this one.

The Wild have scored just seven goals in their last four games.

The Blackhawks dominated in the second, outshooting Minnesota 22-6. After Stalock stopped several prime chances, Chicago took 2-0 lead on Kane's second goal, capping a breakaway with 4:24 left.

Dumba cut it to 3-1 just over 4 minutes later when his drive from the blue line sailed through traffic and over Crawford's right shoulder.

Wingels backhanded in an long empty-netter to complete the scoring with 4 minutes left â and Stalock pulled for an extra attacker during a Minnesota power play.

NOTES: Minnesota D Jared Spurgeon returned after missing nine games with a groin injury. ... Blackhawks D Jan Rutta missed his second game and D Cody Franson missed his fourth, both with upper-body injuries. ... Slumping Chicago LW Richard Panik was a healthy scratch for the third straight game. ... Struggling Minnesota LW Marcus Foligno was scratched for the second time in three games. ... Wild C Mikko Koivu played Sunday, but now has gone 24 games without a goal and 11 without a point.
