Ryan Donato had two goals and an assist and the Chicago Blackhawks ended a five-game losing streak with a 6-3 victory over the Ducks on Saturday night.

Teuvo Teravainen had a goal and two assists and Lukas Reichel, Wyatt Kaiser and Patrick Maroon also scored. Arvid Soderblom made 28 saves.

Leo Carlsson scored twice, and Jackson LaCombe added a goal for the Ducks, who saw their five-game home winning streak end. John Gibson made 18 saves in his return from an upper-body injury.

Entering with an 8-1-1 home record since Dec. 29, it was a disappointing stumble for Anaheim against a team near the bottom of the Western Conference standings.

Frank Vatrano, Cutter Gauthier and Ryan Strome score goals in the second period to help lift the Ducks to a 5-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.

After Blackhawks defenseman Seth Jones was traded to Florida earlier in the day, a quiet first period turned into a six-goal eruption over the final two periods.

Immediately after Chicago killed a penalty early in the third period, Reichel broke free on a breakaway to give the Blackhawks a two-goal lead with just over 15 minutes remaining.

Teravainen has nine points (four goals, five assists) in his last four games against the Ducks.
