Two games to go with today, beginning in...
Minnesota, as the Wild welcome the Chicago Blackhawks. Corey Crawford and Devan Dubnyk man the creases. Chicago started in the first period with a Patrick Kane power play goal, his sixth of the postseason, powered by Andrew Shaw and Patrick Sharp. This was all they needed for a 1-0 win, with the three stars given to Crawford (30 save shutout), Kane, and Dubnyk (21 for 22 in saves). The Blackhawks have pushed the Wild to the brink with a 3-0 series lead.
Up in Calgary, the Flames bring in the Anaheim Ducks. Frederik Andersen and Karri Ramo are between the pipes. Calgary opened in the first period with a Brandon Bollig goal, his second of the postseason, guided in by Mason Raymond and Markus Granlund. Anaheim tied it on a Patrick Maroon goal, his third of the playoffs, set up by Ryan Getzlaf and Sami Vatanen. The Ducks took the lead as Corey Perry scored his sixth of the postseason, thanks to Simon Despres and Getzlaf. The Flames retied it in the second period on a Joe Colborne shorthanded and unassisted goal. Anaheim retook the lead with a Matt Beleskey goal, his third of the playoffs, assisted by Ryan Kesler and Despres. Calgary tied it on a Johnny Gaudreau power play goal in the third period, his third of the postseason, powered by Kris Russell. The Flames won 4-3 with a Mikael Backlund goal in overtime, coming off of Dennis Wideman and T.J. Brodie. The three stars went to Getzlaf, Despres, and Backlund. The Ducks still have a 2-1 series lead.
