CHICAGO -- Corey Crawford was there every time.
Cheap
Darian Stewart Jersey . Slap shots, wristers, backhands and tips, he
stopped each one of them. The Chicago Blackhawks needed a rebound game from
their goaltender, and he delivered in a big way. Crawford made 34 saves in his
third career post-season shutout, and the Blackhawks got back into their playoff
series with the St. Louis Blues with a 2-0 victory in Game 3 on Monday night.
"Im just going shot by shot," Crawford said. "Its all I could do the whole game
was worry about the next one and focus on the next shot and stop that. I dont
want anything else going through my mind through that hockey game."
Jonathan Toews and Marcus Kruger scored as the defending Stanley Cup champions
bounced back after a pair of overtime losses in St. Louis. Toews 21st
post-season goal was only the second score by a Blackhawks forward in the
series. "Three games in a row. Its been a very intense series and extremely
close," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. Ryan Miller shook off another
slow start and finished with 23 saves, but Toews shot at 4:10 of the first went
through the goaltenders legs and was the only score for most of the game. "Its
not a good goal. Well leave it at that," Miller said. It was quite a turnaround
for Crawford, who was upset with his play after Saturdays 4-3 loss.
Barret Jackmans winning goal in Game 2 went through Crawford, prompting the
goaltender to say he had to play better for Chicago to win. Quenneville met with
Crawford on Sunday, and he responded with one of the best games of his career.
"We have a lot of one-on-one meetings throughout the season, but we get ramped
up at playoff time," said Quenneville, a former NHL defenceman. "I generally
stay away from the goalies. We chatted. Basically I was commending him on
accepting that responsibility (for the loss)." Crawford drew chants of "Co-rey!
Co-rey from the capacity crowd at the United Center. He was helped by a sound
performance by Duncan Keith and Chicagos defencemen, who stepped up without the
suspended Brent Seabrook. The Blackhawks killed three St. Louis power plays,
while the Blues penalty-kill unit went 4 for 4, including a 5-on-3 disadvantage
in the second. "We knew this was going to be a long series, but we really played
hard, we really played well," St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock said. "We did a lot
of the things we needed to do to win the hockey game, but youve got to give
their goaler credit. He was good, especially late." The Blues, who scored tying
goals late in regulation in each of the first two games, pulled Miller with 57
seconds left, but the Blackhawks held on. Kruger stuffed home an empty-netter in
the final seconds. Game 4 is Wednesday night. Each team was without a key
contributor after Seabrook wiped out Blues centre David Backes with a big hit in
Game 2. The five-minute major and game misconduct penalty for Seabrook led to
Vladimir Tarasenkos tying power-play goal with 6.4 seconds left. Seabrook was
suspended for three games by the NHL, putting Sheldon Brookbank in the lineup
for the first time in the series. Playing with Keith, Brookbank turned in a
solid performance in his 19th career playoff game. While Backes was out with an
upper-body injury, centre Patrik Berglund returned for the Blues after missing
three games. Berglund, who had 14 goals and 18 assists this season, skated
behind the net for a nice wraparound opportunity in the first period, but was
turned away by Chicago defenceman Nick Leddy. Seabrooks hit on Backes, and at
least one knee-on-knee blow by Bryan Bickell, increased the tension between
Central Division rivals. But Game 3 was surprisingly civil, with each team wary
of another penalty that could swing the series. There was a lot of chirping from
each side, and that was about it. Looking for a spark, Quenneville put Toews,
Patrick Kane and Bickell on the same line for the start of Game 3. The trio had
a lot of success in the Blackhawks run to the title last year. The move worked.
Toews connected from the top of the left point in the first, beating Miller with
a shot that took an unusual bounce. Bickell also created a couple of quality
chances with some slick passing. "If thats how its going to go in, then were
doing a good job of taking care of the clean chances and the easier ones for
them," said Blues defenceman Kevin Shattenkirk, who was right in front of Toews
on the goal. "We just have to keep going." NOTES: Blues F Vladimir Sobotka went
to the locker room after he took a power-play shot off his right arm in the
second, but he returned later in the period. ... The announced attendance of
22,112 was the 268th consecutive sellout for the Blackhawks, counting the
playoffs.
