Jeff Hamilton had his second career hat trick and added two assists to lead the Blackhawks to a 7-5 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night.
Patrick Sharp scored twice and Rene Bourque had three assists to help Chicago win its third straight. Nikolai Khabibulin stopped 32 shots to pick up the win, and Tuomo Ruutu and Mikael Holmqvist also scored for the Blackhawks.
Bill Thomas, Mike Zigomanis and Jeff Taffe had goals for Phoenix, which lost its fifth straight and has recorded only two wins in its last 12 games (2-9-1).
Mikael Tellqvist gave up five goals on 17 shots in the first period, and Curtis Joseph stopped 12 of 14 shots he faced over the final 40 minutes for the Coyotes.

Terrible loss, but a fun game. First time my wife and I had been to the arena. Great seats, high-scoring hockey game with many fights and a few nasty injuries.
