Andrew Shaw (L) of the Chicago Blackhawks celebrates with teammates after scoring a third period goal against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals at the United Center in Chicago Wednesday. — Reuters CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks scored three goals during a four-minute stretch in the second period to power to a 5-2 victory over Anaheim Ducks Wednesday that forced a Game 7 in their Western Conference Final series. After seeing their 3-0 lead cut to one goal in the third, Andrew Sharp added two goals in the final period to seal the game and tie the series 3-3. Shaw had scored just twice during the playoffs but caught a timely surge to set up the pivotal series decider Saturday in Anaheim. “I think when we realize that our season is on the line, we kind of think back to everything that got us to this point and realize the opportunity we have and the group we have, throw everything in the mix and that's the motivation we have,” said Chicago center and captain Jonathan Toews. Patrick Maroon and Clayton Stoner scored for the Ducks as they tried to rally back, but fell short. “We lost our composure, I thought, for the first time in the playoffs,” said Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau. “They scored the first goal, and then started scoring all over.” Chicago goalie Corey Crawford stopped 30 of Anaheim's 32 shots while Anaheim goalie Frederik Andersen made just 18 saves. Chicago got their second-period scores from Brandon Saad, Marian Hossa and Patrick Kane. The goal was particularly significant because Hossa has struggled to score in the playoffs. After being one of the team's top scorers (22 goals) during the regular season, Hossa's goal Wednesday was only his third in 16 playoff games this postseason. Kane's goal was his team-leading 10th. The Ducks are looking for their first trip to the Stanley Cup Finals since 2007, while the Blackhawks won titles in 2013 and 2010. It has been a tight back and forth series between the teams and has featured three overtime games, while neither side has been able to win consecutive games. — Reuters
