Chicago took the lead when Dominik Kahun tipped a beautiful shot in the slot to put the Blackhawks up 2-1.  With three minutes left in the second period the Bruins were awarded another power play.  Patrice Bergeron put on a clinic of showing how to play at both ends of the ice.  Chicago had a shorthanded bid that could of put them up 3-1.  Instead, Bergeron raced back to break up the scoring attempt.  On the same shift, as the Bruins battled back up ice, he pounced on a rebound in the slot and buried a backhander to tie the game at 2-2 going into the final period.

Tuukka Rask was solid and kept the Bruins in the game with some timely saves.
