The Chicago Blackhawks forced overtime with back-to-back third period goals from David Bolland and Johnny Oduya, and then hung on through a seesaw overtime session to win in the third overtime.
Andrew Shaw had the winning goal for the Blackhawks, a ping-pong deflection off a Michal Rozsival point shot. Vancouver's Milan Lucic had two goals for the Boston Bruins, who led 2-0 and then 3-1 during the game.

After the game, overtime hero Shaw was interviewed rinkside by Pierre Maguire and dropped an f-bomb on live television (NBC).
""We knew it wasn't going to be pretty at this point," he said. "It was a great shot...[expletive]... it's unbelievable, and all the guys, we deserved this."
