At Anaheim, California:
Marcus Kruger scored the winning goal at 16:12 of the third overtime period on Tuesday night as the Chicago Blackhawks won the longest game in franchise history, 3-2 on the road against the Anaheim Ducks and squared the Stanley Cup Playoffs' Western Conference final at one game apiece. Andrew Shaw, who scored one of two first-period power-play goals for the 'Hawks, thought he scored the game winner in the second OT period. The goal, however was disallowed because he deliberately head-butted the puck into the net, ala Cristiano Ronaldo.
Chicago goaltender Corey Crawford saved 60 of 62 shots for the victory while his Anaheim counterpart Frederik Andersen saved 53 of 56 shots.
The game was also the longest in Ducks history and the first triple-overtime match ever staged in California.
