The Chicago Blackhawks didn’t get off to the start they wanted to in Game 6. By the 11:16 mark of the first period, Chicago found itself trailing the Nashville Predators 3-1. Starting goalie Scott Darling got pulled from the game, with Corey Crawford coming on in relief. With a chance to send the Preds home for the summer, the Blackhawks sure didn’t look like a team going for the kill.
Things flipped pretty quickly after the goaltending change, however. Jonathan Toews scored 58 seconds after Nashville’s third goal to cut the deficit to 3-2. Then late in the first period, the Blackhawks got an offensive zone faceoff and they had just the right play drawn up.
Brad Richards won the draw to Duncan Keith, who immediately shoveled it to Patrick Kane. The star winger wound up and absolutely drilled a one-timed shot that Pekka Rinne couldn’t have possibly seen.
You can tell just how well Kane smoked that with how quickly that thing popped out of the net.
After falling behind so early in the game, the Blackhawks got the tying goal with six seconds to play in the first period to completely flip the game on its head.
