It was a successful return to Winnipeg for Andrew Ladd.

The former captain of the Jets scored once and earned the second star of the game as the visitors downed the Jets 4-0 at the MTS Centre Friday night.

The Blackhawks scored twice in a span of 26 seconds late in the second period and added two more in the third frame to snap a four-game losing skid. Chicago improves to 42-24-6, while the loss drops the Jets to 29-37-5.

Ladd, who was traded to Chicago days before the Feb. 29 trade deadline, also got some love from his former team, as the Jets paid tribute to him with a touching video during the first TV commercial break.

Patrick Kane opened the scoring at the 16:56 mark of the second period, putting home his 39th goal of the season with a back-handed shot that beat Pavelec just under the top bar. Marian Hossa doubled the lead shortly after, scoring his 12th on a rebound play that left Pavelec with little hope of making a stop.

Ladd would put the game out of reach with his 20th of the season, beating Pavelec once again with a shot up high. Tomas Fleischmann rounded out the scoring for the Hawks with his 13th.

Scott Darling stopped all 28 shots he faced from the Jets to earn his first shutout of the season and second of his career. Ondrej Pavelec stopped 32 pucks in the loss.
