CHICAGO -- Scott Darling is getting into a groove. The banged-up Chicago Blackhawks are playing smart and tight in front of him.On Sunday night, it all worked perfectly.Marian Hossa, Artem Anisimov and Artemi Panarin scored to lead the Central Division-leading Blackhawks over the Dallas Stars 3-1.Darling made 23 saves in his fifth straight start while No. 1 goalie Corey Crawford recovers from an appendectomy. Darling has permitted just seven goals during the stretch, but the Blackhawks have scored only nine while going 2-2-1.You get into a rhythm, Darling said. You feel more comfortable. And the guys have been playing great defense the last four games.Coach Joel Quenneville appreciated what he saw from the net on out.Overall, our whole team game, I really liked tonight, Quenneville said. We managed the puck a little bit better and scored some timely goals as well.Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews missed his ninth game and defenseman Brent Seabrook his second with upper-body injuries. That means the Blackhawks dont have as much firepower to throw around -- even if the 37-year-old Hossa scored his team-leading 15th goal and has three in three games.It was definitely a good test of what we can do without key players, Hossa said. Its hard to replace guys like that.Devin Shore scored for Dallas, which lost its second straight and third in four. The Stars struggled to generate much offensive pressure against the Blackhawks on the heels of a 4-2 loss at Philadelphia on Saturday.I think our guys feel a lot of pressure right now with our scoring being down, coach Lindy Ruff said. Last year we could wash some of our mistakes under the carpet. This year, the big mistakes are really standing out.Dallas Kari Lehtonen blocked 24 shots while making his fifth straight start. The scuffling Stars are in sixth place in the Central and 11th in the Western Conference.We put ourselves in a tough spot, but theres no reason we cant turn this around, forward Jamie Benn said. The way were losing is unacceptable.Both Toews and Seabrook took part in the teams morning skate on Sunday, with Toews getting back on the ice for the first time in a week. The center, reportedly dealing with a back injury, said he never has experienced his current condition before.You almost have to sit around and wait for it to heal and get better, Toews said. Sometimes you feel good and all of a sudden you do some little movements here or there that seem to just fire everything up.Dallas defenseman Jamie Oleksiak sat out the first game of a two-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of Flyers forward Chris VandeVelde in the third period of the Stars 4-2 loss at Philadelphia on Saturday.Defenseman Johnny Oduya returned to the Stars lineup after missing 10 games with a lower-body injury and took Oleksiaks place.The teams played a scoreless first with only a handful of chances. Darling made a quick right pad save on Curtis McKenzies point-blank deflection with 6:30 left in the period.Shore opened the scoring at 1:25 of the second, batting in a loose puck to cap an odd-man break and flurry around Chicagos net. After McKenzie deflected Shores feed wide, John Klingberg shoveled the puck in front to Shore, who connected from the doorstep.Hossa tied it at 1 just 52 seconds later on a drive from left wing that trickled under Lehtonens blocker.Anisimov knocked in a rebound of Ryan Hartmans point-blank attempt with 7:30 left in the second for his 12th goal to put Chicago ahead 2-1. After leaving the penalty box and taking a long feed from Trevor van Riemsdyk, Hartman beat defenseman Stephen Johns and cut in alone. Lehtonen stopped Hartmans low shot, but Anisimov swept in and scored before Johns could recover.Panarins power-play goal midway through the third made it 3-1. Positioned low in the left circle, Panarin ripped in his 11th goal from a sharp angle -- and just inside the left post -- after taking a perfect feed from Duncan Keith.Game notes Dallas and former Blackhawks F Patrick Sharp sat out his fifth game with concussion-like symptoms. Ruff said the 34-year-old Sharp is going full bore skating and working out on his own, but theres no timetable for his return. ... Stars D Dan Hamhuis played his 900th game. ... Dallas healthy scratches were D Patrik Nemeth and F Lauri Korpikoski. Chicagos was D Michal Kempny.UP NEXT:Stars: Host Anaheim on Tuesday to start a five-game homestand. Dallas plays eight of its next nine at home.Blackhawks: Head to New York to play the Rangers on Tuesday and Islanders on Thursday. Chicagos three-game road trip concludes at St. Louis on Saturday.

MIAMI -- The New York Mets have tightened up the playoff battle after beating the Miami Marlins 5-3 on Friday night.The Mets trail the Marlins by a half-game in the race for the second and final National League wild-card spot.Miami, however, has an ace in the hole Saturday night -- ace pitcher Jose Fernandez, who has been nearly unstoppable at Marlins Park with a 25-1 career record and a 1.43 ERA.Against the Mets, Fernandez is 2-0 with a 1.32 ERA in six career starts.Fernandez will face 2015 All-Star Jacob deGrom, who is 6-4 with a 2.38 ERA this season.Lately, deGrom has been even better -- 3-0 with a 0.93 ERA in his past four starts.If you are going to have a guy on our staff to match up with Fernandez, it would be Jacob deGrom, Mets manager Terry Collins said. (deGrom) has pitched in his past few starts as good as anybody.Again, if you are a baseball fan -- if you love the game -- (Saturday night) is the game you want to come to see.Besides the great pitching matchup and the wild-card playoff race, the other bit of intrigue regarding Saturdays game revolves around Marlins backup outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, who is four hits shy of 3,000.Suzuki, who struck out as a pinch-hitter Saturday, could get a start on Saturday against deGrom, a right-hander, as opposed to waiting until Sunday, when Miami facess lefty Steven Matz.ddddddddddddCertainly, the Fernandez-deGrom matchup will captivate baseball, and a Suzuki start would only add to the marquee value of the game.Otherwise, here are some other story lines to watch on Saturday:--Marlins closer A.J. Ramos has 31 saves. With one more, he ties his career high, which was set last year.--Mets closer Jeurys Familia has converted 50 consecutive save opportunities, the longest active streak in the majors and fourth-longest in baseball history.
