Both sides scored in the shootout's first round before Auocin produced the game-winner by firing a shot that glanced off the right shoulder of goaltender Cristobal Huet.

Marian Hossa had a chance to keep things going for Chicago, but his shot was poked away by Jason LaBarbera.

Chicago's only goal in regulation came from Colin Fraser 4:46 into the contest. Radim Vrbata tied it on the power play with 3:18 left in the second.

LaBarbera made 28 saves. He made his fifth start of 2010 and has won two of them.
