Flyers shut out in Chicago

CHICAGO (AP) -- Antti Raanta made 32 saves to earn a shutout in his first start of the season, and Patrick Kane scored two power-play goals to lead the Chicago Blackhawks past the Philadelphia Flyers 4-0 on Tuesday night.

Chicago's Brandon Saad and Bryan Bickell scored along with Kane in a 2:06 flurry late in the first period.

Raanta was sharp as he stepped in for Corey Crawford -- Chicago's No. 1 goalie who is out day-to-day with an upper-body injury -- to record his second career shutout. Among his saves were two point-blank stops on Philadelphia's Claude Giroux and one on Matt Read late in the second period.

Besides their first goals this season, Saad and Bickell each had assists as Chicago's third line, centered by Brad Richards, clicked and the Blackhawks improved to 4-0-1.
