The team said it was deeply saddened by the loss and declined further comment while asking for respect for the privacy for Reifs family and friends.Were still in disbelief, captain Jonathan Toews said. The fact we went out there and played the way we did, I think we dedicated that one to our good friend Clint.Im glad we got the win tonight.Reif, 34, was found to be unresponsive in his home on Sunday morning, according to a statement from the DuPage County Coroners Office. Authorities are investigating the death, and the coroners office declined further comment.Raanta made 31 saves for his second shutout of the season, helping Chicago rebound from a 3-2 shootout loss Saturday night in Columbus.I commend the guys. Very emotional, draining day, coach Joel Quenneville said. To come up and play such a solid game, from Antti right on out, they played the right way.I know we got better as the first period went on and had a real solid third period. It was a real challenging day.David Rundblad, Kris Versteeg and Toews also scored, and Patrick Sharp had three assists as the Blackhawks won for the 14th time in their last 17 games. Chicago has just one regulation loss in its last 13 games.James Reimer made 30 saves in Torontos third straight loss following a six-game winning streak.They moved the puck around us quite a bit in the hockey game and we just didnt have an answer for it, Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle said. And then we when we did have some chances, I thought the goaltender made some big stops.Although No. 1 goalie Corey Crawford was available, Raanta started for the third time in four games and recorded his third career shutout. Crawford faced the Blue Jackets on Saturday after missing eight games with a foot injury.Every single game (Raantas) been in the net hes done what he could to enhance his positioning here, Quenneville said. Our goaltending has been outstanding no matter whos been in the net.Rundblad put the Blackhawks in front with a screened shot from the left point with 4:30 left in the first period. Sharp and Torontos Korbinian Holzer were tussling in front of Reimer as the shot sailed in.It was Rundblads first goal since the defenceman had his first NHL goal for Ottawa on Nov. 27, 2011.Versteeg made it 2-0 with just .4 seconds left in the first on a nifty move. He kicked Kanes off-target centring pass to his stick before beating Reimer on the glove side from the right circle.The Maple Leafs, who entered with an NHL-leading 3.39 goals per game average, fired some prime chances at Raanta in the scoreless second. Jake Gardiners shot from the blue line clanked off the left post midway through the frame.We werent able to turn possession into good quality chances, Toronto forward Joffrey Lupul said. And when we did, the puck didnt really seem to bounce our way.Kane made it 3-0 at 9:07 of the third when he pounced on a rebound of Brent Seabrooks shot from the point. It was Kanes 16th goal of the season.Raanta was sharp in the third, especially when Toronto fired six shots during a power-play midway through the period.NOTES: The Blackhawks observed a pregame moment of silence for Reif. ...

Thats not a given this time. And the team is well aware of it: Every time players set foot in the practice facility, they come face to face with a display showing where Washington stands. On Thursday, the Capitals had 70 points, good enough only for 11th place in the 16-team Eastern Conference. The top eight teams qualify for the post-season. "Weve got a board in our dressing room here that says the standings. You walk by it six, seven times a day," right wing Troy Brouwer said. "So theres no way to be immune to whats going on." Washington hasnt missed the playoffs since the 2006-07 season, although its never been past the second round in that span. At the moment, the fading Capitals have won only one of their last six games heading into Friday night against the visiting Vancouver Canucks, who are 10th in the West. "The desperate level," Brouwer said, "is getting up there." Washington has 15 games left in the regular season. Its not a particularly easy schedule, either, with 10 games against teams currently in playoff position, including a daunting March 18-22 road trip to Anaheim, Los Angeles and San Jose. "Obviously, were very concerned," coach Adam Oates said. "But the one good thing about hockey is tomorrows another game and you cant get too far ahead or dwell too much on it, because youve got to play tomorrow. Its a must win tomorrow." There have been various problems lately, including poor passing and puck possession, leading to turnovers and a lack of shots on goal. Also glaring: Ovechkins sudden lack of scoring. The three-time NHL MVP and team captain leads the league with 44 goals, but he has been held without a point in each of the last four games, matching his worst drought this season. So whats it going to take to get things turned in the right direction before its too late? "It can be one big hit," saiid Ovechkin, whos been known to dole those out.dddddddddddd "Or it can be one good play and everybody (wakes) up and everybody (plays) much better." In a bid to help the playoff push, general manager George McPhee added goalie Jaroslav Halak and left wing Dustin Penner in separate deals at the trade deadline this month, then finally signed 2010 first-round draft pick Evgeny Kuznetsov. But there hasnt been a payoff yet. Penner was thought to be destined for the top forward line, alongside Ovechkin and centre Nicklas Backstrom. But Oates said Thursday, "I dont think he matches well with them." Asked to elaborate, Oates replied: "Hes not the fastest guy in the world. Hes a puck-possession, battle-along-the-wall guy, and I think (Ovechkin and Backstrom) need a quicker guy." Halak, meanwhile, has made three consecutive starts over Braden Holtby. Oates wouldnt say who would be in net Friday. Holtby said all the right things Thursday, though -- about Halak "giving us a chance to win, whenever he plays"; about how "I want to learn from" Halak; about how theres no rivalry between the pair. Holtby also gave a frank assessment about what Washington needs to do now. "Everyone knows," Holtby said, "that we have to have at least 10 wins, probably, in these last 15 -- or more -- to have a chance." Notes: D Dmitry Orlov signed a $4 million, two-year contract extension. "Good for him," Ovechkin said, "and good for us." Orlov was suspended by the NHL for two games this month after launching into an opponent and drawing a major penalty that helped the Flyers rally for a 5-4 overtime victory. ... C Brooks Laich, who missed two of the last four games with a groin injury, saw a doctor and will be monitored day by day, according to Oates. Its possible Laich will play Friday. ... C Mikhail Grabovski skated before Thursdays practice as he deals with a left ankle injury. "Until he can practice with us, I think hes a ways away," Oates said. ' ' '
