CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks were struggling. Nikolai Khabibulin was yanked in the second period, and the Ottawa Senators looked ready to put away a big road win. Then Corey Crawford came in, and Jonathan Toews took off. Toews had three goals and an assist, Crawford made 14 saves in relief of an ineffective Khabibulin and the Blackhawks rallied for a 6-5 victory over the Senators on Tuesday night. "The last couple times weve been down in the third period, or down a goal a two later on in the game, weve found a way to finish better than if weve had the lead," Toews said. "We have that confidence that we can come back if were down a goal, or whatever." Andrew Shaw scored twice and Marian Hossa had a goal and two assists for the Blackhawks, who trailed 4-2 with 8:46 left in the second period. It was Hossas 100th goal with Chicago and No. 439 for his career. The Senators scored three times in a span of four shots in the second, but were unable to hold off the suddenly high-scoring Blackhawks. Kyle Turris and Milan Michalek each had a goal and an assist in Ottawas fourth loss in five games. "The things we did to get the lead at 4-2, whether their goalie was good or bad or indifferent, we did a lot of good things to make the score 4-2 and then we stopped doing them," Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said. Toews sparked Chicagos rally when he tested Craig Anderson with 5 1/2 minutes left in the second, and his first attempt popped over the goal. The captain then skated to the back of the net and slammed in a wraparound for his fifth goal of the season. The Blackhawks kept coming in the third period, and Toews tied it at 4 when he finished off a perfect pass from defenceman Johnny Oduya at 1:20. Toews completed his third career hat trick when he pushed a rebound into an empty net midway through the period for a 5-4 Chicago lead. "Jonny had a special game," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "If youre a fan and you watched him play tonight, youre going to go Wow, that was a special performance." Shaw and Ottawas Zack Smith exchanged goals down the stretch, and the Blackhawks held on for their second victory in as many nights. The defending Stanley Cup champions beat Minnesota 5-1 on Monday. Clarke MacArthur had two assists for the Senators, and Anderson finished with 34 saves. MacArthur missed Ottawas previous game with what the team called a minor injury. "We scored five goals, we should win the game," Anderson said. "We need to take a little bit more pride and keep the puck out of our net and play a little tougher in front of our net." Ottawa appeared to be in control after one dizzying stretch in the second. MacArthur sparked the scoring spree when he charged toward the net from the right side, setting up Turris power-play score from in-close that gave Ottawa a 2-1 lead at 6:51. Hossa responded 50 seconds later, converting a nice pass from Toews, but Senators were just getting started against the slumping Khabibulin. Joe Corvos long slap shot whistled by teammate Bobby Ryan and into the net for his first goal of the season. Then Mika Zibanejad skated past sliding Blackhawks defenceman Duncan Keith and beat Khabibulin to make it 4-2 at 11:14. That was enough for Quenneville, who replaced Khabibulin with regular starter Crawford. Khabibulin made 18 saves and has allowed 10 goals while facing 47 shots in his past two games. "No, I cant really say," Quenneville said when asked if he can pinpoint why Khabibulin is struggling so much. "It was just one of those nights. Well look at it and try to get better." Crawfords entry prompted a big cheer from the crowd, and the Blackhawks seemed to feed off the switch. Sharp had two assists and Toews extended his points streak to five games. Toews has five goals and four assists during the stretch. "I dont know if its anything special going on," Toews said. "Sometimes you go through ups and downs when youre scoring and things are going in, and other nights, maybe not so much."

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins postponed their series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday because of inclement weather, the second straight game they had washed out at Target Field. The Twins announced the decision in the early afternoon, more than six hours before the scheduled first pitch, and slotted the makeup for Thursday as part of a day-night doubleheader. The Twins had a day off on Monday, meaning they havent played since Saturday afternoon. Coaches and players came to the ballpark to work out a little bit and try to stay limber, while a cold, wet system stayed stuck over Minnesota with a forecast to linger well into the week. Temperatures have been in the high 30s and low 40s, with steady rain falling since Saturday night and a bit of snow mixed in at times, too. "They feel like they havent been out there in a year, and its only been a few days," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said, adding: "Mother Natures winning right now." The predicted high for Wednesday was 45 degrees, with the chance of precipitation pegged at 70 per cent, so that game could be in trouble, too. "Mother Nature is what Mother Nature is. Thats one of those many aspects of life and baseball that you cant do anything about," said right-hander Kyle Gibson, who was supposed to start on Sunday, and on Tuesday, and will now take the mound on Wednesday opposite Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke. Maybe. "You hope that we can step right back into it and get into a flow," Gardenhire said. Well, if the weather wont relent, theres always an NHL playoff game to watch. The Wild will play at Colorado in Game 7 of their first-round series on Wednesday night. "Im going to challenge something early and get thrown out of the game and come in here and watch hockey," Gardenhire joked in his office. The Dodgers, who were to begin a nine-game road trip, werent available for comment. They were scheduled to startt Dan Haren on Wednesday and Josh Beckett on Thursday, but their rotation for the reshuffled series was yet to be determined.dddddddddddd The Twins picked Mike Pelfrey for the original game on Thursday afternoon, but Gardenhire said they hadnt determined the starter for the makeup game on Thursday night. Ricky Nolascos turn would be next, but teams are allowed to call up a 26th player for doubleheaders. So a Triple-A pitcher could make a spot start if either or both teams wanted to avoid using Greinke and/or Gibson on short rest this Sunday. This was the 11th postponed game for the Twins in five seasons at Target Field, six of which have been over the past two Aprils. Their scheduled series finale on Sunday against the Tigers was pushed to either August or September when the Tigers make their return trips. Rescheduling the Dodgers would be far more difficult, because this is their only planned visit. The next common day off for the teams is May 19, when the Dodgers would have to make a one-day stop between series in Arizona and New York. There are only two other mutual openings on the 2014 schedule outside of the All-Star break, but those would require the Dodgers (July 28) and Twins (August 25) to play 24 straight days. The collective bargaining agreement prohibits teams from being scheduled to play more than 20 straight days. If the Dodgers are forced to make a return trip, theyll probably have Clayton Kershaw with them. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner, who has been on the disabled list for the first time in his career with a back muscle injury since winning the teams season opener, will make his second minor league rehabilitation start on Wednesday for Double-A Chattanooga, the Dodgers announced on Monday. Kershaw said over the weekend he felt ready to return, but the team preferred to be cautious with their $215 million ace. Kershaw pitched five innings on Saturday for Class A Rancho Cucamonga.
