BUFFALO, N.Y. -- First, Patrick Kane gave his family and friends something to cheer about by scoring a highlight-reel goal in a rare trip home to Buffalo on Sunday night. Then, Kane stuck around an hour after the Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 victory over the Sabres, by posing for pictures and signing autographs in the stands. As homecomings go, Kanes was nearly complete except that his beloved grandfather Donald Kane was not around to see it after passing away last month. "No matter what, youre going to miss him," Kane said, following only his fourth NHL game at Buffalo. "But life goes on, and I think more importantly, I have a lot of family here at the game that came and supported me." Coach Joel Quenneville saw a jump during a performance in which Kane snapped a five-game goal drought that began after his grandfathers death. "I thought Kane was special," Quenneville said. "He was a threat and had the puck on his stick tonight: very dangerous and nice to see him play well here at home." Kane opened the scoring 3:12 in, by capping a breath-taking rush. Bursting past defenceman Christian Ehrhoff, Kane snapped a shot through the legs of defenceman Chad Ruhwedel that beat goalie Jhonas Enroth over the left shoulder. Kane nearly made it 2-1 with 8 minutes left in the second period, when he got in alone behind the Sabres defence only to have his backhander stopped by Enroth. He also scored into an empty net, but a second after the final horn sounded. Captain Jonathan Toews secured the win by scoring the go-ahead goal 1:34 into the third period. Corey Crawford stopped 20 shots, and the Blackhawks (38-13-14) snapped a two-game road skid. Drew Stafford scored for the league-worst Sabres (19-37-8), who had a three-game home winning streak snapped. Stafford capped a nifty three-way passing play to tie the game midway through the first period. Tyler Ennis started it by finding trailing forward Cory Conacher driving up the left wing. Conacher drew Crawford from out of the net and slipped a pass into the crease where Stafford jammed it in after his first chance was blocked by Brent Seabrook. The assist for Ennis made up for a goal he had disallowed a few minutes earlier, when he was called for hooking Crawford. "I didnt think it was a penalty, and frustrated that I had the goal taken away," Ennis said. "But I dont think that was the turning point." The difference was the Sabres ongoing difficulties on offence, which has managed a league-low 122 goals. Buffalos power play went 0-for-5 on Sunday, and is 0-for-10 over its past four games. "What do we take out of that one?" Ennis said. "One: Jhonys playing great. Two: Weve got to stay out of the box. And, three: Our power plays got to be better." Enroth stopped 29 shots and had little chance on either of the two goals he gave up. With the game tied at 1 and the Sabres mounting a threat in Chicagos end to open the third period, Toews answered by capping a 3-on-2 rush the other way. Andrew Shaw crossed Buffalos blue line and found Brandon Saad breaking up the right wing. Saad drew Enroth his way before steering a pass through the crease to Toews, who then snapped it in the open side. It was Toews 25th goal of the season and sixth in four games. Toews has shown little sign of a post-Olympic hangover after he helped Canada win a gold medal at Sochi. "I think hes returned from the Olympics in great shape, very confident," Quenneville said. "He just seems to have the knack, has good pace with it, has the puck a lot as well. And when hes around the net, hes getting rewarded." The Blackhawks extended their win streak to five games against the Sabres. And with 90 points, they jumped into third place in the Western Conference standings, a point ahead of idle San Jose. NOTES: Kane was the last Chicago player off the ice following pregame warmups and got a big cheer after flipping a puck into a large crowd of Blackhawks jersey-wearing fans behind the teams bench. ...

Yeezy 350 v2 Magasin . - The Detroit Lions have 13 takeaways this season — three less than all of last season — and the defence isnt the only unit pleased with the performance.Sir Ian Botham believes England should consider recalling leg-spinner Adil Rashid for the third Test against Pakistan as a replacement for the injured Ben Stokes. Stokes has been ruled out of the game in Birmingham, which begins on Wednesday, and is also unlikely to play in the final Test with a torn calf muscle sustained in Englands series-levelling 330-run victory at Old Trafford.Englands selectors, who have named Rashid alongside seamers Steven Finn and Jake Ball in a 13-man squad for the third Test, have steered clear from playing two spinners in recent home Tests - the last instance came in 2013 when Graeme Swann and Simon Kerrigan featured against Australia at The Oval. However, with the Edgbaston wicket suited to spin, former Test captain Botham believes the Yorkshire bowler should get his chance as England look to take a stranglehold on the series. Rashid celebrates taking a wicket during the ODI series with Sri Lanka Id really like to see Rashid play, said Botham. Edgbaston is a turning wicket and having another spinner in the side will give England more options.The selectors traditionally dont like playing two spinners but I know this is something they are seriously talking about for this Test. BEEFYS BETS Sir Ian Botham expects Joe Root to star again at Edgbaston and has tipped him at 5/1 to be top bat. Rashid is yet to figure in a Test on home soil but has proved a valuable part of Englands limited-overs squad with both bat and ball.The Yorkshireman would provide extra strength to the batting, particularly in Stokes absence, but Botham feels Rashid should be picked for his bowling and is his tip to claim most England first-innings wickets with Sky Bet at 5/1.I wouldnt select him just because he can bat, Botham added.Hes an improving bowler who will only get better by playing and bowling in Test matches. England should have enough strength in their batting with the likes of Chris Woakes batting at nine.

Englands Joe Root says removing risk from his game by batting at No 3 has helped his performances after receiving the man of the match award again Root landed the man-of-the-match award for his 254 at Manchester and has now scored 382 runs in the series.Botham added: Root is Englands best player and well see plenty more big scores from him in his career.Last week, the Sky Bet tipster enjoyed a clean sweep with all three selections - Joe Root (7/2) top England bat, Chris Woakes top England bowler (5/2) and the England win returning at a combined price of 16/1.BEEFYS THIRD TEST BETSEngland win - 4/6Top England bat 1st inns: Joe Root - 5/2Top England bowler 1st inns: Adil Rashid - 5/1 (Chris Woakes 5/2 if Rashid doesnt start)Joe Root top England bat and Adil Rashid top England bowler (1st inns) - 14/1Joe Root top England bat and Adil Rashid top England bowler and England win - 20/1 Also See: Fixtures/results Live cricket on Sky Get Sky Sports Cricket videos ' ' '
