In Game 3, the Chicago Blackhawks held the Edmonton Oilers to 3 goals. In the third period, their defense was lights out.

Can we quickly give a shoutout to the Chicago Blackhawks defense during the third period? They helped out Corey Crawford big time, along with being involved with the game-winning goal, as Connor Murphy shot the puck that was deflected, which went in.

During the first two games, defensive hockey wasn’t a thing for either team. 19 goals were scored between the two teams, with the Blackhawks giving up 10 of those goals.
