Blackhawks top Ducks in 3rd OT to tie series
Print Edition
CHICAGO’S Marcus Kruger scored deep into the third period of overtime to secure a 3-2 win against Anaheim on Tuesday in the longest game in Blackhawks 89-year history, squaring their NHL Western Conference finals series at 1-1.
Kruger batted home Brent Seabrook’s shot 16:12 into the third OT; a full 110 minutes after the second of their goals in regulation. Andrew Shaw and Marian Hossa scored power-play goals in the opening minutes, but Chicago couldn’t score again until Kruger got in front of the net and forced a ricochet past Ducks goaltender Frederik Andersen, who made a career-high 53 saves. The game was the 17th-longest in NHL history, and the longest since 2008.
Andrew Cogliano and Corey Perry scored for the Ducks, who entered the contest having won nine of their first 10 postseason games. Shaw attempted to end it during a powerplay 8:47 into the second overtime by knocking a high-arching rebound of Patrick Kane’s shot into the net with his helmet in a stunning soccer-style play, but the goal was deemed illegal.
