Blackhawks vs. Ducks: Game 5 Live Score, Highlights for 2015 NHL Playoffs

The Chicago Blackhawks will try to take the lead in their NHL Western Conference Final series for the first time when they face off against the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night.

The teams head into Game 5 with two wins each after the Blackhawks' 5-4 overtime win Saturday at the United Center. The wild game saw the Ducks take a 4-3 third-period lead thanks to three goals in just 37 seconds, only to have Chicago answer back to force extra time and ultimately claim the win.

Blackhawks overtime hero Antoine Vermette had fresh legs in Game 4 after sitting out the third game of the series as a healthy scratch, so Shawn Roarke of NHL.
