Wild, Blackhawks meet in Game 2 today
CHICAGO (AP) — It wasn't the first time the Chicago Blackhawks saw a spectacular goal from Patrick Kane. Yet, they were still amazed a day later.
Kane scored twice in the third period on Friday night to lift the Blackhawks to a 5-2 victory over Minnesota. But it was his dash through the Wild zone on the tiebreaking goal that had his teammates still in awe Saturday.
Game 2 is Sunday ( 2 pm ) in Chicago, and the Blackhawks are in position to take a commanding lead thanks to a late charge that started with one memorable goal.The Wild had scored twice early in the third to tie it 2-2 when Kane delivered.
Chicago center Andrew Shaw is questionable for today's game because of a lower body injury. Shaw was injured in Friday's series-opening win; it was not clear when he was hurt.
He had two goals and two assists in Chicago's first-round series against St. Louis.
