(Reuters) - Chicago netminder Corey Crawford stole the spotlight as the Blackhawks beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 to square the Stanley Cup Final at two games each on Wednesday.
Crawford was strong early and even stronger in the game's closing minutes, stopping Steven Stamkos on two point-blank shots to preserve the victory.
Chicago were outshot 25-19 in the game.
Brandon Saad got the winner for Chicago at 6:22 of the third period, after earlier goals by Chicago's Jonathan Toews and Tampa Bay's Alex Killorn.
