CHICAGO, IL (AP) -- Tomas Kopecky scored two goals and the injury-depleted Chicago Blackhawks beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 on Friday night to end a three-game losing streak.

Patrick Sharp and Bryan Bickell also connected for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who improved to 9-9-0 at home. The Blackhawks already have one more regulation home loss than all of last season, when they were 29-8-4 at the United Center.

Chicago rookie Corey Crawford made 29 saves in his eighth start in the last 10 games.

He needed to make several timely stops, but the Blackhawks - who again played without star forwards Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa - provided solid defensive support for most of the game.

Patrick Eaves scored for the Red Wings, who lead the Western Conference with 43 points.
