The Chicago Blackhawks' run to the 2015 Stanley Cup got off to a rough start.
The Blackhawks were down 3-0 after the first period of Game 1 against the Nashville Predators in the first round. Blackhawks starting goaltender Corey Crawford had already let in three goals on 12 shots. The team looked finished. The game was slipping away from their hands, and a comeback seemed uncertain.
Then came Scott Darling.
A former ECHL backup goaltender, Darling stepped into the crease and delivered one of the greatest in-relief performances in Stanley Cup Playoff history. He stopped all 42 shots he faced, which included two overtimes.
