Blackhawks Playoff Podcast: Another close game

The Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues continued to prove Sunday there isn’t a whole lot separating the two teams. For the third consecutive game, one goal determined the outcome.

The Blues pulled out a 3-2 win over Chicago in Game 3 at the United Center in Chicago and regained home-ice advantage. The Blues became the first team since the Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference final in 2014 to defeat the Blackhawks in the regulation with them leading after two periods. The Blackhawks had accumulated a 70-0-4 record the past two seasons when leading after two periods. The Blues scored twice in the third period to pull off the comeback win. Blues goalie Brian Elliott made 44 saves on 46 shots in the win.

Brian Hedger and Scott Powers were there in Chicago for the game and stuck around afterward to record a podcast and break down everything that happened in Game 3. Hedger and Powers will be recording podcasts following every game of the series.
