A
California-Florida Stanley Cup Final will have to wait at least another season.
Jonathan
Toews (North Dakota) scored the game's first two goals, and Duncan Keith
(Michigan State) recorded two assists as the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the
host Anaheim Ducks, 5-3, in Game 7 of the Western Conference Final at the Honda
Center. The Hawks won the series, four games to three, after rebounding from a
three games-to-two deficit.
Chicago,
which stayed alive by winning Game 6 at home on Wednesday, raced out to a 4-0
lead in the second period on Saturday before Ryan Kesler (Ohio State) notched Anaheim's
first goal. The Ducks would get within 4-2 in the final frame before the two squads
exchanged power-play scores for the final tally. Anaheim outshot Chicago, 38-26.
The
Hawks, who claimed the NHL crown in both 2010 and 2013, will open the 2015
Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday at the Eastern Conference champion Tampa Bay Lightning
(8 p.m., NBC). The two teams split a pair of meetings during the regular
season.
