CHICAGO — Brendan Perlini’s first career hat trick arrived at an opportune time for the desperate Chicago Blackhawks — and the 22-year-old forward. Perlini scored three goals against his former team, and Chicago ripped the Arizona Coyotes 7-1 on Monday night for its third straight win. Perlini missed on a couple more prime chances before barely tapping in a sliding puck for his third goal with 3.6 seconds left. Perlini and Saad then scored 91 seconds apart to put the Blackhawks ahead to stay. Perlini connected again at 3:16 off Strome’s quick pass across the slot after Kane stole the puck from Christian Fischer.
