<span style='font-size: 14px'><strong class='bbc'>WHO'S IN, WHO'S OUT[/b]</span> — <strong class='bbc'>Dave Bolland[/b] and <strong class='bbc'>Ray Emery[/b] are ruled out of tonights game per Joel Quenneville with lower-body injuries. <strong class='bbc'>Jason Pominville[/b] continues to recover from a head injury and <strong class='bbc'>Clayton Stoner[/b] will sit out tonight after taking a hard hit in game one. <strong class='bbc'>Niklas Backstrom[/b] will not return after injuring himself during the pre-skate in game one.
<span style='font-size: 14px'><strong class='bbc'>GAME ONE RECAP[/b]</span> — <strong class='bbc'>Corey Crawford[/b] allowed a weak goal from <strong class='bbc'>Cal Clutterbuck[/b] early in the game, but shut the door the rest of the way making 26 saves and finishing with a sparkling 0.963 save percentage. <strong class='bbc'>Marian Hossa[/b] tied the game in the 2nd period off a great rush by<strong class='bbc'> Patrick Kane[/b]. Although the game opened up for the Blackhawks after that, no one else scored until 34 minutes later when <strong class='bbc'>Bryan Bickell [/b]netted the game winning goal at the end of the first overtime period, his second playoff overtime goal of his career. <strong class='bbc'>Josh Harding[/b] was spectacular as well, making 35 stops out of 37 shots on goal. Defensively, the Wild did an admirable job by blocking 21 shots in the game. Surprisingly, the Blackhawks actually outhit the Wild 40-36 in the game.
