Jonathan Toews' two power-play goals lift Blackhawks over Stars 4-3

I have former Fighting Sioux star Jonathan Toews on one of four my fantasy hockey teams. I just hope that he keeps scoring at this pace during the regular season.
CHICAGO - Jonathan Toews scored two power-play goals, and newcomer Brian Campbell had four assists in the Chicago Blackhawks' 4-3 pre-season victory over the Dallas Stars on Sunday night.

Patrick Sharp and Jack Skille also scored for Chicago, which improved to 3-0 in exhibition play. Sharp's goal was his fourth in three pre-season games.

Toews opened the scoring on a power play just 32 seconds in, when his centring pass deflected in off the skate of Dallas defenceman Garrett Stafford.

Niskanen tied it at one at 5:41 of the first on a bouncing shot from the right point that slipped between Niemi's pads.

Sharp's power-play score later in the first period, on a screened shot from the left circle, gave Chicago a 2-1 lead.

Toews' second goal, also on the power play, made it 3-1 less than two minutes into the second. He deflected in Campbell's drive from the top of the slot.
