Striking turn: Blackhawks take late lead with two goals in 1:58

Chicago Blackhawks v Anaheim Ducks - Game Five

Chicago Blackhawks v Anaheim Ducks - Game Five

Well then.

The Tampa Bay Lightning seemed content to nurse a 1-0 lead through the meat of Game 1 as Ben Bishop’s shutout streak became more and more of a story. The Chicago Blackhawks showed how difficult it is to prevent them from scoring a single goal ... and then added another for good measure.

Just like that, the desperate scramble to score became the Lightning’s responsibility. If the Bolts can’t send this game to overtime, expect plenty of questions about their decision to play “prevent defense” instead of pressing for a bigger lead.
