Ducks beat Blackhawks 2-1 to lead Western finals
Print Edition
ANAHEIM bounced back from a grueling home-ice loss in the previous game and won 2-1 at Chicago on Thursday to take the edge after three games of their NHL Western Conference finals series.
Ducks goaltender Frederik Andersen made 27 saves, helping kill off five power plays, and defenseman Simon Despres scored his first career playoff goal as Anaheim put behind it the triple-overtime loss in Game 2.
Ryan Kesler’s two holding penalties contributed to more than nine power-play minutes for the Blackhawks, but the Ducks’ penalty killers kept most of Chicago’s opportunities to the outside and Andersen stood his ground during a couple of goalmouth scrums.
Patrick Maroon also scored for Anaheim while Patrick Kane scored his eighth playoff goal for Chicago, and Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford made 25 saves.
The teams were tied 1-1 when Despres drove a pass from Getzlaf past Crawford from the right wing with 55 seconds left in the second period. Despres came over in a trade with Pittsburgh in March.
The Blackhawks outshot the Ducks 10-5 in the third, but couldn’t get past Andersen.
While the Blackhawks struggled on the power play, the Ducks capitalized on their only chance with the man advantage. With Marian Hossa off for holding, Maroon tipped Hampus Lindholm’s long slap shot past Crawford at 12:55 of the first for a 1-0 lead.
Chicago tied it 1-1 when Kane converted a spinning backhander in the final minute of the first. It was the first point of the series for Kane.
