CHICAGO, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- Nikolai Khabibulin stopped 23 shots Wednesday and recorded the 39th shutout of his 13-year career in bringing Chicago a 3-0 win over Edmonton.

Edmonton suffered its first loss of the season after opening the year with four victories. The Oilers had been trying for their first five-game winning streak to start a season since 1985-86.

Patrick Sharp scored the only goal the Blackhawks needed just 2:36 into the first period on the power play. It was his fifth of the year.

Brent Seabrook added a shorthanded goal with 1:25 to play in the first and Aaron Johnson made it 3-0 midway through the second.

Dwayne Roloson stopped 27 of 30 shots for the Oilers.

Chicago has earned points in each of its last five games (3


2) after dropping its first two outings of the season.
