Toews, Blackhawks late rally tops Ducks Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Jonathan Toews' goal with 1:35 left in
regulation lifted Chicago over Anaheim, 4-2, at the United Center.
After an errant Chicago shot sailed to the end boards and rebounded back out
into the slot, Dustin Byfuglien corralled the puck and shoved it back towards
the net. Kris Versteeg got control at the left side of the crease and slid a

Pascal Pelletier singed a 1-year contract on Friday to remain with the Blackhawks organization, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:Pelletier played six games last year in Boston before being traded to Chicago in late July. He offers little fantasy value even though he has scored 71 goals in 206 games at the AHL level.
The Chicago Blackhawks introduced Cristobal Huet , who signed a four-year, $22.5 million free-agent contract on July 1st, at a news conference at the United Center on Monday, and now the team plans to ask him to share time in net, according to the Chicago Tribune. Huet joins Nikolai Khabibulin in a goaltending tandem that will earn more than $12 million combined next season and said he is looking forward to battling for ice time during the 2008-09 campaign before taking over the No. 1 job the following season when Khabibulin's contract expires.
Our View:Huet split time between the Montreal Canadiens and Washington Capitals last season and had a record of 32-14-6 with a .920 save percentage, posting four shutouts. The Hawks feel he could be the answer but Khabibulin is a veteran tender with a proven ability to perform. It seems both are likely to lace up the skates, depending on the night, and as such fantasy owners should be cautious of adding either to the roster.
