CHICAGO — Here’s a breakdown of the Chicago Blackhawks’ come-from-behind 6-3 win over the St. Louis Blues in Game 6 of their first-round series on Saturday:
Game-changing plays
1. No goal seemed more important than the first one scored after the second period. The Blues were ahead 3-1 at that point. If they scored again, they would have possessed the first three-goal lead of the series, and it would have likely buried the Blackhawks for good. If the Blackhawks scored, they would have life and a lot of time would remain.
The Blackhawks scored that all-important goal when Artem Anisimov swung and connected with a descending puck and knocked it past Blues goalie Brian Elliott for a power-play goal at 4:13 of the second period.
