The Blackhawks golie controversary continues. Not even a hat trick by Andrew Ladd could sidetrack the Detroit Red Wings.Pavel Datsyuk capped a five-goal second period and Detroit rallied for a 5-4 victory over the Blackhawks on Sunday.Ladd’s first goal of the game gave the Hawks a 2-0 lead in the first period, but Detroit took charge in the second before Ladd added two more goals in the final period.Brian Rafalski started the surge with a power play goal 4:12 into the second to cut the lead to 2-1. Nicklas Lidstrom, Jason Williams, Valtteri Filppula and Datsyuk followed with goals as the Red Wings won for the fourth time in five games.Henrik Zetterberg and Todd Bertuzzi added two assists apiece.The Red Wings, hampered by injuries early in the season, strengthened their grip on the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Detroit has won eight straight Central Division titles, and just might be finding their winning touch again.Defenseman Duncan Keith scored the first goal, and after Ladd’s two third-period goals the Blackhawks missed on several opportunities to tie the score in the final seven minutes. Keith opened the scoring at 4:24 with his career-high 13th goal before Ladd made it 2-0, firing in a one-timer from the right circle off Filppula’s turnover.The Blackhawks’ meltdown began after an apparent goal by Patrick Kane early in the second period was disallowed because Dustin Byfuglien bumped into Jimmy Howard.Lidstrom got Detroit on the board from the high slot during a 4-on-3 power play, then Rafalski added a tying goal 28 seconds later. Despite a timeout by Joel Quenneville, the Red Wings were just getting started.Williams and Filppula scored 42 seconds apart midway through the second period to give Detroit a 4-2 lead, and Datsyuk stole the puck from Kane at the blue line and added a breakaway goal with three seconds left in the period to make it 5-2. Datsyuk has eight goals and 10 assists in his last 14 games.Ladd added his second goal at 1:59 of the third, scoring from the right circle, and recorded his first hat trick on a deflection of Keith’s shot from the point with 7:54 remaining.Cristobal Huet allowed four goals on 17 shots before being replaced by Antti Niemi at 10:27 of the second period. Huet was making his third straight start after Niemi had been between the pipes the previous five games.Niemi allowed one goal on eight shots.The Hawks had to call on Antti since Huet appeared to say “Uncle”.

NOTES—Bertuzzi suffered a lower-body injury late in the second period and didn’t return….Keith extended his points streak to six games for a career high. His career-high 59 points is second among NHL defensemen to Washington’s Mike Green….Kane had an assist to extend his point streak to eight games. He has four goals and nine assists in the span….The Blackhawks’ season-high crowd of 22,309 was their 84th straight sellout.
