TORONTO (Ticker) -- On Friday, the Chicago Blackhawks watched atwo-goal lead disappear in the third period. Just 24 hourslater, they performed some magic of their own.


Defensemen Andrei Zyuzin and Duncan Keith scored 30 secondsapart early in the third and Robert Lang, Patrick Sharp andTuomo Ruutu tallied later in the session as the Blackhawkserased a two-goal deficit and posted a 6-4 victory over theToronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.


Jason Williams had a goal and two assists and teenage rookiePatrick Kane set up a pair of tallies for Chicago, which has wonfour of its last five games.


The Blackhawks jumped out to a 3-0 lead over the ColoradoAvalanche on Friday before squandering it, needing a late goalby Ruutu to emerge victorious. In this one, Chicago fellbehind, 3-1, after two periods before erupting for five talliesin the final session in its first visit to Toronto sinceFebruary 3, 2004.


Atoning for an earlier miscue, Zyuzin shoveled a shot pastgoaltender Andrew Raycroft from the high slot off a feed by the18-year-old Kane just as the first of two Maple Leaf penaltiesexpired 64 seconds into the session.


Shortly thereafter, Keith received a cross-slot pass by fellowdefenseman Brent Sopel and unleashed a shot that beat Raycroftat 1:34 to deadlock the contest at 3-3.


A seemingly harmless wrist shot by Robert Lang from the top ofthe right faceoff circle at 7:15 sailed by Raycroft and went inoff the left goalpost, giving the Blackhawks their first lead ofthe night. Less than five minutes later, Sharp tipped Sopel'srising slap shot from the right point out of mid-air and byRaycroft during a power play to make it 5-3.


Chad Kilger made it a one-goal game with 2:55 remaining with his100th career goal, but Ruutu scored into an empty net in thefinal minute to secure the win for Chicago.


The Blackhawks struck first in this one on the power play.

Rookie Jonathan Toews emerged from the right corner but lostcontrol of the puck near the goalpost. It found its way toWilliams, who fired it past Raycroft from the inner edge of theleft circle at 4:13 of the first period for a 1-0 lead.

With five seconds remaining on Chicago's second man advantage,Toronto came up with a shorthanded tally to even the contest.Captain Mats Sundin skated in on a breakaway and backhanded thepuck inside the left post at 7:43 to forge the tie.

The Maple Leafs moved ahead with 2:52 left in the openingperiod. From low in the left circle, defenseman Tomas Kaberlethrew the puck toward the net. It hit the stick of Zyuzin andgot past Lalime, giving Toronto a 2-1 edge.


Sundin extended the advantage in the second period following aturnover. Jason Blake stole the puck from Sharp and skated downthe slot as the puck drifted forward, allowing Sundin to swoopin and fire it by Lalime at 13:23 to make it 3-1.
