Jonathan
Toews (North Dakota) scored one goal and set up another, and Patrick Sharp (Vermont)
set up the winning score in the second overtime as the Chicago Blackhawks edged
the visiting Anaheim Ducks, 5-4, on Saturday night at the United Center in a
Stanley Cup Playoff bout. The best-of-seven NHL Western Conference Final is now
tied at two games apiece.
The Blackhawks
led, 1-0, after 20 minutes and went up, 3-1, early in the third period before
Anaheim scored three times in 37 seconds to take a 4-3 lead. Patrick Kane then
tied the game for Chicago on a power play, and Sharp was stopped on a partial
breakaway in the first overtime before assisting on Antoine Vermette’s game-winner
in the second extra session.
Duncan Keith (Michigan State) clocked in at over 40 minutes of ice time for the second time in three games, including Chicago's triple-overtime victory in Game 2 at Anaheim. Kyle Palmieri
(Notre Dame) assisted on Anaheim’s first goal of the night, while Ryan Kesler (Ohio
State) scored the Ducks’ third goal.
Game 5 will be played Monday night at the Honda
Center in California.
