Blackhawks Win In Triple-OT To Even Series With Ducks

 width=Marcus Kruger scored the winning goal with 3:48 left in the third overtime and the Chicago Blackhawks grabbed a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.

Chicago had a goal waived off in the second overtime after Andrew Shaw was ruled to have head-butted the puck into the net, but Kruger ended the game with his second of the playoffs.

Brent Seabrook had the puck at the right point and fired a shot that hit Kruger in front of the net with Kruger pushing in the puck to end the longest game in Chicago franchise history.

This best-of-seven series is now tied at 1-1 and the next two games will be in Chicago with Game 3 set for Thursday night.

Shaw and Marian Hossa had first period power-play goals for the Blackhawks, who got 60 saves from Corey Crawford in the marathon.
Andrew Cogliano and Corey Perry scored goals, while Frederik Andersen made 53 saves for the Ducks, who had won all six home games in the playoffs before this loss.
