Kane scores late in the first period and early in the second to give Chicago a 2-0 lead. Boston defenseman Zdeno Chara cuts it to 2-1 at 3:40 of the third period, but the Bruins can't beat Chicago goalie Corey Crawford again, and an empty-net goal by
Dave Bolland
wraps up the win, which puts the Blackhawks up 3-2 in the best-of-7 series.
"I think everyone wants to be that guy in big-time games," Kane says, "and I've been lucky enough in a couple to step up."
