ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Blackhawks tried just about everything to get a puck past Frederik Andersen while Game 2 of the Western Conference finals wound through three overtime periods and deep into the night, eventually becoming the longest game in Chicago’s 89-year history.
Andrew Shaw even headed the puck into the net — an impressive, but illegal, move.
After nearly 110 consecutive scoreless minutes by Chicago, Marcus Kruger got it done with plain old work in front of the net, ending a landmark game and tying a series that is already the endurance test everyone expected.
