Aside from a stretch in the second where the Stars controlled the action and the Hawks needed Crawford to come up big to maintain the lead, the Hawks dominated the game. The Hawks scored early and often, the first goal coming just over a half-minute into the game. Even when the Stars had a man advantage, the Hawks were able to find the back of the net. Just a great all-around performance by the Blackhawks.

My picks for 3 stars:

★★★ Niklas Hjalmarsson, D, CHI (2 A)

★★ Corey Crawford, G, CHI (36 SV, 1 GA)

★ Artem Anisimov, C, CHI (1 G, 3 A)
