"He's a clutch player," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said of Kane, who scored his 49th playoff goal. "Obviously he's a great player. Not a lot of guys can do what he did or does. Couple of those spin moves tonight were dangerous and he stuck with it on the other side of the net, so obviously you have to give him credit. He's special and he's special with everything on the line as well."
The Blues rallied from a 3-1 deficit and forced overtime with third-period goals by Robby Fabbri and David Backes. Jaden Schwartz had a second-period power-play goal, and Elliott finished with 31 saves.
The Blues had the belief that they were going to win, especially after the surge in the third to tie it and in the first overtime.
"You've got to have that belief," Schwartz said. "It could have gone either way. Chances both ways. When it gets to overtime, anything can happen. Obviously we had the belief that we were going to win, but we've got to bounce back here and get ready for the next game."
