CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Spencer Knight<\/a> made 32 saves, Jason Dickinson<\/a> scored and the Chicago Blackhawks<\/a> beat Jonathan Toews<\/a> and the Winnipeg Jets<\/a> 2-0 on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Connor Bedard<\/a> added an empty-net goal in the third period as the Blackhawks stopped a three-game slide. It was Bedard\u2019s first goal since returning from a right shoulder injury.<\/p>\n

Knight recorded his third shutout this season and the eighth of his career.<\/p>\n

Toews played his first game in Chicago since signing with Winnipeg on July 1. The 37-year-old centre played for the Blackhawks for 15 seasons, winning three Stanley Cup titles.<\/p>\n

Toews was cheered all night long in his return to his first NHL home. The Blackhawks showed a video of Toews\u2019 highlights in the first period, and the crowd of 19,894 responded with a lengthy standing ovation.<\/p>\n

Connor Hellebuyck<\/a> made 22 saves for Winnipeg, which dropped to 5-11-5 in its last 21 games. The Jets went 0-for-2 on the power play. <\/p>\n

Chicago played without forwards Teuvo Teravainen<\/a> and Andre Burakovsky<\/a>. Teravainen missed his third straight game with an upper-body injury, and Burakovsky was scratched with an illness.<\/p>\n

Chicago jumped in front on Dickinson\u2019s sixth goal. Dickinson settled a lofted pass from Ryan Donato<\/a> and beat Hellebuyck 13:21 into the second period.<\/p>\n

The Blackhawks had another prime scoring opportunity late in the second, but Bedard was robbed by Hellebuyck with a sprawling glove save.<\/p>\n
