Blackhawks' Ilya Mikheyev: Tallies twice Thursday

Mikheyev scored two goals on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Stars.

Mikheyev has a pair of two-goal games over his last four outings, sandwiched around an absence from the team while welcoming his child into the world. The 31-year-old winger is picking up the pace for a depleted offense. He's now at eight goals, 12 points, 64 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over 36 appearances this season. The defensive winger doesn't get power-play time, but he is in the top six at even strength.
