Bouma's first goal of the season came off a scramble in the slot. Tommy Wingels scored an empty-net goal at 19:00 to make it 4-2 and give Chicago's fourth line two goals.
"I think what they did prior to that put them in a position to be out there in that situation, and I like what we saw," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said of the line of Bouma, Wingels and John Hayden. "Those are the kind of goals you score in our league, second opportunities, traffic at the net. Moving forward, we can take a page out of what they're doing."
The Blackhawks (5-2-2) have defeated the Coyotes seven straight times and are 9-0-1 in their past 10 against them. Chicago has not lost a regulation game to Arizona since Feb. 7, 2014.
The Coyotes (0-7-1) are off to the worst start in Arizona/Winnipeg Jets history.
"I thought we were confident all game," coach Rick Tocchet said. "A couple little breakdowns and the puck bounces and it goes to their guy. That's the way it's been going the last two, three weeks."

The Coyotes went 0-for-5 on the power play, including two 5-on-3 opportunities in the first period.
Corey Crawford made 27 saves for Chicago. Louis Domingue made 25 for Arizona.
The Coyotes took a 1-0 lead when Christian Fischer's passing attempt deflected off the stick of Blackhawks defenseman Jordan Oesterle at 7:47 of the first period.
The Blackhawks tied it 1-1 on the power play at 8:48 of the first period. Richard Panik deflected Jonathan Toews' shot from the top of the left face-off circle.
It was the ninth time this season the Coyotes allowed an opponent to score within two minutes of scoring themselves.
Patrick Kane gave Chicago a 2-1 lead on a breakaway at 11:32 of the second period. The goal extended his point streak to five games (two goals, three assists).
The Blackhawks thought they took a 3-1 lead at 17:24 of the second when Coyotes forward Max Domi slashed Wingels on a breakaway. Wingels scored on the penalty shot, but video review found that Domingue poked the puck off Wingels' stick, and the call on the ice was overturned. Rule 24.2 states that "no goal can be scored on a rebound of any kind" on a penalty shot.
Coyotes forward Clayton Keller scored at 18:14 of the second period to tie the game 2-2. He leads NHL rookies with six goals.
