CHICAGO _ Two Blackhawks ended droughts Thursday night during their 3-2 loss against the Ducks at the United Center.
But Duncan Keith's first goal on the season on his 139th shot on goal and Brandon Saad's first goal since Jan. 7 weren't enough to stop two more droughts from carrying on.
The defeat was the Hawks' eighth in a row overall, and seventh in a row at the United Center, where they haven't been victorious since Jan. 12 against the Jets.
Keith put the Hawks ahead 1-0 less than two minutes into the second period, his first goal since March 16, 2017 against the Senators. Since then he'd gone 71 games, including four playoff games, and 169 shots without one.
Saad put the Hawks up 2-0 a bit later, his first goal after 16 games without one.
But the Ducks answered with two quick goals, both a result of two Hawks miscues, during a 2-minute, 25-second span in the second. Connor Murphy mishandled the puck on the first one, which led to Nick Ritchie's goal. Michal Kempny did the same on the second, leaving Hawks goalie Anton Forsberg out to dry on Ondrej Kase's breakaway with 7:42 left in the period.
Adam Henrique put the Ducks ahead 8:34 into the third.
The Blackhawks fell to 24-26-8, while the Ducks moved to 28-20-11.
