Louis Crevier scored two third-period goals and Chicago scored five straight to rally for a 5-2 win against the visiting San Jose Sharks in the Blackhawks' season finale on Wednesday night.
Sam Rinzel, Ryan Greene and Nick Lardis also scored, Connor Bedard had two assists and Spencer Knight made 15 saves for the Blackhawks (29-39-14, 72 points), who had lost four in a row and nine of 10 (1-8-1).
Mario Ferraro and Michael Misa scored, Kiefer Sherwood had two assists and Yaroslav Askarov made 19 saves and turned away a penalty shot for the Sharks (38-35-8, 84 points), who have lost four of five (1-3-1).
Crevier scored off a backhand cross-ice pass from Bedard to tie it 2-2 at 3:51 of the third.
Greene scored backdoor off a feed from Ethan Del Mastro to give the Blackhawks a 3-2 lead at 8:35.
Crevier scored again with a slap shot from just inside the blue line to make it 4-2 at 10:32.
Bedard got another assist with a backhand pass to Lardis for a one-timer that made it 5-2 at 14:44.
Knight appeared to make the initial save on a shot by Ferraro, but the rebound went off the skate of Del Mastro and across the goal line to give the Sharks a 1-0 lead at 8:09 of the first period.
After Askarov stopped Ilya Mikheyev on a penalty shot with 3:38 left in the first period, the Sharks thought they extended the lead to 2-0 on a goal by Tyler Toffoli early in the second period, but Chicago challenged for offsides and the goal was waived off following a video review.
The Sharks scored at 5:17 of the second when Misa tried to pass the puck to the front of the crease from the side of the net, but it went off the stick blade of Del Mastro, off his arm, and between the pads of Knight to make it 2-0.
Chicago started the comeback when Askarov gave up a bad goal with 30 seconds left in the second period.
Rinzel took a sharp-angle shot from just above the goal line and the puck slipped through his pads to cut it to 2-1.
The Sharks conclude their season on Thursday at the Winnipeg Jets.
