Add another memorable chapter to the Chicago Blackhawks-St. Louis Blues’ 2016 first-round series story. For the fifth consecutive game, just one goal separated the two rivals. Unlike the last two games, it was Chicago who got that goal in Game 5, a game which began on Thursday night and ended on Friday at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
Patrick Kane provided the heroics by scoring the game-winning goal in a second overtime and gave the Blackhawks a 4-3 victory. The series returns to Chicago with the Blues still leading 3-2.
Brian Hedger and Scott Powers were there in St. Louis for the game and stuck around afterward to record a podcast and break down everything that happened in Game 5. Hedger and Powers will be recording podcasts following every game of the series.
