UNIONDALE—Blake Comeau notched his first NHL hat trick and sparked a four-goal second-period rally to lift the Islanders to a 5-3 victory against the first-place Blackhawks on Tuesday night.Comeau, Jon Sim and Richard Park scored three goals in a 4:39 stretch in the second, helping the Islanders win for the only the third time in 12 games.Comeau scored twice in the second period, including an insurance goal with 17 seconds left that made it 5-2 and marked the Islanders’ first three-goal game since Jeff Tambellini accomplished the feat on Oct. 31.Kane, who helped the Americans win a silver medal, had his 19th multipoint game this season. Chicago wasted a chance to tie San Jose (89 points) for the league’s best record.Blackhawks starting goalie Antti Niemi allowed three goals on only 12 shots before getting pulled. The Hawks lost their fifth straight against the Islanders and hasn’t beaten them since Dec. 23, 2002, at the Nassau Coliseum.U.S. Olympian Patrick Kane had a goal and two assists. Brian Campbell and Dustin Byfuglien also scored, but the Blackhawks lost for the first time in five games.Dwayne Roloson, who could be moved by Wednesday’s trade deadline, made 41 saves in his first victory since Jan. 21. Roloson also stopped 20 first-period shots to keep his team in contention.The Hawks initially looked rejuvenated off the two-week Olympic break, firing 22 shots in the first period to take a 2-1 lead.Campbell opened the scoring 10:44 in for his 17th goal. Roloson knocked down Kane’s shot from the right circle before Campbell slammed home the rebound at the right post.Despite the shot disparity, Comeau tied it after stopping a sideboards-bound clearing pass and beating Niemi on his glove-side 1:32 later.But the Hawks quickly regained momentum off Richard Park’s slashing penalty. Kane’s wraparound rebound goal off Duncan Keith’s off-target shot came only 63 seconds after Comeau’s tally. The Blackhawks fell two short of tying their season high of 24 shots in a period, accomplished in the season opener against Florida.Momentum shifted coming out of first intermission when Comeau and Sim scored 25 seconds apart to force Niemi to the bench 2:52 into the second. Comeau’s drive from the left circle hit just under the crossbar and Sim followed with a point-blank rebound goal a half-minute later, prompting Chicago coach Joel Quenneville to insert Cristobal Huet.
