rozsival is staying out there. >> seabrook. hands it off for bolland. across the line for kane. patrick kane closing in. frolik. now keith. now hanzal hands it off to vrbata. backhanded by whitney in to the chicago zone as coyotes will make changes here. kane. puck is knocked away. doan will play it safely back in to the chicago zone. doan going in after him. hjalmarsson able to race it all the way to center ice. back off hayes and back the other way now. the coyotes regrouping. yandle patient with the back in his own zone. not forcing anything here. slides it across for derek morris. vermette drops it back. yandle drops it back for morris.

chicago, brian, set up in a 1-2-2 in the neutral zone. >> chicago's going to pick their spots for the offense. >> here's kruger. toward the net in to the glove of mike smith. he will hold it there. >> patrick sharp getting in the face of rozsival. there's smith making the blocker save from the point and then derek morris pushes -- >> that's how it happens. >> bickell in to the crease. i thought it was hayes but it's bickell. mike smith makes the save and gets a shot at bickell at the same time. >> smith listed at 6'4", 215ont. so athletic with that size. makes it tough. crawford out to play this puck

around the boards. bickell checked by langkow. looks out in front. scores! brule! on a beautiful centering feed. second goal of the series for brule. and it's 2-0 coyotes. >> there's one of the plays behind the net. quickly out in to the slot and it's zone defense. nobody has brule. there are lots of blackhawks around. beautiful work here by chipchura. behind. sees brule. a timing pattern and nobody gets to brule's stick in time. see the numbers chicago has back. toews takes his man. bickell tried to hook the stick of brule. but he's about a foot short and brule doesn't need a second chance. second big goal of the series for brule. when's had limited ice time in this game. >> second goal of the playoffs. had the only goal for the coyotes in game number one.

here's a chance for kane. seabrook has it now. this is just the second two-goal lead that either team had in this series. the coyotes had a two-goal lead for a little over 2:30 in game four. coyotes scored two and the hawks got two more to force it to overtime which was the second of the boedker overtime winners. stalberg now. chopped away by pyatt. leddy. keith. a shot blocked by pyatt. he'll just head to the bench. in the shooting lanes all the time. one of the themes of the series for the phoenix coyotes. always in the shooting lanes. they block a tremendous number of shots. >> chipchura, the only assist on the goal by brule as the hawks with pressure against centering

pass of sharp and missed everybody and rolls in to the chicago zone. here's whitney with a steal in front. vrbata along. a stop by crawford. boy, if that goes in, brian, it's lights out. >> yep. >> this time it wasn't one of the big guys. it was one of the smartest guys in ray whitney. he does a real good job of staying with oduya. oduya thinks he'll outsmeart hi. he smells him coming. their forecheck, turning it over for giant scoring chances. that was a giant scoring chance to put the game and the series away. big save there by crawford. >> vermette, on the draw, aggressive with it. gloved down by boedker. frolik and hand pass ruled here by the linesman.

coming this may, the nbc sports group brings you coverage of the first jewel of the triple crown, the 138th running of the kentucky derby. coverage begins may 2nd and continues race day may 5th on nbc. vermette deflects it in to the chicago zone. but it's rozsival that has it now for the coyotes. boedker. for rozsival. lead pass. redirected. steers it aside now for seabrook. didn't get it by boedker's stick. off the skate of morrison. recovered. rushing it back in to the phoenix zone. centering pass. by a couple of sticks by leddy. >> a stick on that. even cleared it right on the edge of the paint. >> picked up and smith with the save on a bang-bang play.

that was frolik that had that opportunity. now kane. drops it back. leddy. back to kane on the far side. great chance there. he missed the net. patrick kane with a terrific wrist shot. skips wide of mike smith. whitney will send it across now. and klesla, brian, looks like he's gotten rid of the cage. >> they're so hard to see through and gone back to the sigh visor. you get better vision that way. >> vrbata for ekman-larsson. sends it diagonally in to the chicago zone. picked up by hanzal. comes around for toews. and toews plays it in to the coyotes zone. smith. leaves it there. schlemko.

rozsival. deflected by chipchura in deep. did he touch it? i guess he didn't. it is going to be icing. >> patrick kane has the puck as much as anybody on either team. he finally got penetration in to this scoring zone and then cut it too fine. he's one of the guys that phoenix will key on for sure because he likes to hang on to the puck from end to end if he can. some of the turnovers can be costly for chicago. he got penetration and just missed the puck. >> almost redirected by kruger. blocked in front by schlemko. that was deflected and never got through to mike smith. smith again. picks it up himself. chipchura behind the defense. >> quick stick of brent seabrook when's been really good at that in the series.

>> hjalmarsson for kruger. marcus krug ere to center ice. back to kruger. shaw again. kruger. comes out in front. smith out. and yandle has it. yandle up the far boards. good keep-in by oduya. that was blocked. >> good block by morris. nice steam by oduya to keep it in the zone. >> yandle with a wrist shot now. he'll hold it there. 13:09 remaining in the third. in the final round the audience choice ingredient bud light! and here we go. looks like chef dubois is emulsifying the bud light into a foam, what's his competitor doing? he appears to be having a really, really good time. cheers. a bud light reduction for dubois and his opponent? also improvising nicely, let's see that again. judges? i like the use of the pressure cooker to tenderize the beef. but also the use of the cell phone to order the pizza.

and now let's go inside the glass with brian. >> one of the guys key in this series for the phoenix its is ekman-larsson and he's been crucial. shot on net. in fact, the first two shots on goal for folks, the only two in the first period and then that one counted. on the power play, the hot from the point and 20 minutes going in to the third period, almost 20 minutes of ice time. he's been stellar in his own zone, too. >> phoenix had three shots here. one of them the goal by brule. taylor pyatt. taken off the puck by seabrook. dropped it back. a chance for those. a chance, a stop by mike smith. toews robbed back to back by

mike smith. >> klesla roped them the first time around and what a set-up, though, by kane. coming through the neutral zone with room and time. he made that first block which was crucial. toe gets a beat on it. everybody's back to the house. they're so good at that. there's the guy who's gutted it out. you can tell ice on the right eye and looks more open mow in the third period than the second. >> had a goal and two assists in the game three victory here. now yandle with a shot, crawford. gops this up to early in the game when rosti was injured,

brian. >> yeah. right side of your net. it was the butt end of the stick unintentionally. raked him outside the right corner of the right eye. still stolen up. >> and then you can see that morrison's stick caught up in the net abe purely accidental. boy, the coyotes twice earlier in the season lost players and the first shift of the game, it happened in game number one vrbata playing seconds and didn't return for the lest of the yigt. he was battling an upper body injury on and off. and then he was lost with an undisplaced injure aand only a thishd player basically in the open minutes that would have been lost but klesla battling

back and coach tippett and the coaching staff -- scoring chance, back of the net. >> puck skips back in on chicago zone. no icing. oduya will have to play it. doan steps in to him. kruger starts it back for chicago. gives it off for oduya. timed it fehr fektly. >> good hit. >> now doan. dug it out of there but couldn't clear it. big hit by hayes and that hurts. the coyotes player is down. a penalty here. what's the call? rozsival is down. >> he got hit hard and by two players there. but he hasn't moved at all really since he went down. that's hayes who's a big man.

sharp's coming in from one side and hayes is the one that gets him. sharp actually went in to hayes. >> right between the numbers. >> moments before this down at the other end, shane doan had a chance at a similar hit on i believe johnny oduya and you could tell doan changed his path or changed how hard -- see rod value is injured and could be bleeding. this could be five minutes here. >> could be for boarding. rozsival who was in a very susceptible position, vulnerable position. >> he knows it. >> he's done for the night. >> the referee just motioned to jimmy hayes. >> i'm not surprised about this either. >> once they see the replay of it. the impact of it, too. >> joel quinnville's going to be angry about it naturally. a tense situation facing

elimination. rozsival with a towel to his face. >> we can see it on the one handle there. they're coming out to clean you want the blood off the ice wifb talking about this where players hit in to the end boards when they're facing the glass. trying to make a play. you just have to let up or pay the price with the penalties and hayes and the blackhawks have now paid a big price. >> so it will be a five-minute penalty. they still haven't put it up on the board, brian. >> i don't see the five minutes up there but i'm assuming that's what it is until we hear the call. so this is -- >> yeah. >> yeah. five for boarding and a game misconduct we're told. how crucial is this? 11 minutes to go in this game

and the season for chicago. if they don't get some goals here. now shorthanded for five minutes. it's a high price to pay for a guy taking a lick at somebody who was in a vulnerable position. >> so the coyotes' power play that scored in this game is out here. a steal and ekman-larsson. taken right back by the hawks. keith coming in. shorthanded. save made by smith and doesn't give up a rebound. >> what a smart play by duncan keith. that's experience of a guy that's won a stanley cup before. ekman-larsson up at the blue line. watch him turn it over here and the quick stick by ekman-larsson. the forecheck by kruger turns the puck over again. toews gives it to him. now real good job of keeping keith on the backhand there and

that was also a crucial part of it, as well, too. yandle diving and keeping him on the back with one option helped smith make that save. >> stalberg is serving the five-minute major against jimmy hayes. bolland fell down so coyotes could have a two-man advantage in the zone. coyotes set it up. angle off the boards for yandle. across for ekman-larsson. yandle with a shot here sales in just wide and duncan keith plays it off the boards and out to center ice. now back the other way for vermette, doan. oduya gets to it. may have hit the netting. apparently not. oduya angles it off the boards. schlemko kept it in at the line.

schlemko with a piece of it for the coyotes. now comes to patrick sharp. hammers a shot here and a save made by mike smith. coyotes trying to win a playoff lead for the first time since 1983 when they were the winnipeg jets. back to schlemko. down low now to vrbata. and the puck's able to clear it down the ice. >> if the hawks sur prooif this, it's still about 6:30 remaining in the third period. >> seabrook traps this puck and the united states just making a change. >> you have some of the top players like toews and keith and seabrook expending a lot of energy killing penalties than

any other time in the game as a rule. now that the tigers are even tired, they're going to be out there trying to get the two goals for you. >> yandle circles back now. yandle. hands it off far side. vermette. a shot save crawford. two coyotes are there. leddy. picked up by yandle. moves it along. vermette has it now. boedker behind the net. now taken by kane. you know the hawks down by two. they have the press and current it over here and back the other way is shane doan. out in front. picked up and fired wide. >> great stick by morrison prevented a goal there.

>> whitney to hanzal again. in the major penalty. far side. schlemko gets it back from morris. back to schlemko. hands it off now for whitney. whitney patient with it. now whitney slides it to the front. picked up by duncan keith. slides it to morrison. deflected by sharp in to the coyotes zone. 1:25 remaining in the major penalty. vrbata. who had a great chance earlier in the period to make it 3-0. a save by crawford. huge stop there by corey craw for the. >> was it ever. that was game saving, a nice little play to ray whitney who sensed what was going to happen. redirection. >> ekman-larsson now to boedker

with speed. cuts it wide. a left pad save. made by corey crawford. ekman-larsson again. they score! redirected i believe in to the net by antoine vermette and a commanding 3-0 lead with 6:56 to go here in the third. >> yeah. there's no doubt it does go in for him. vermette off to the right side of the screen. nice stick. good position. patient. waiting. a few inches on that side and good hard work in front. the blackhawk can't find the handle on it. even though they waited a long time for the end of that penalty, they make them pay and that's aum they needed was that one. >> third goal of the series for vermette and they're all on the power play.

seventh career playall goal for vermette as the power play tonights. half a minute remaining. blocked by leddy. the puck tied up in his skates. >> at this point, chicago, even though they're down a man, they'll be up on the play. they can't afford to wait. thank you across the line. waits. now it's taken by kane. taken away by kane. he just missed on the north side. the coyotes with two goals tonight, two on the power play. phoenix was 29th on the power play in the regular season.

next to last and that's why coaches and players say, throw out the real season numbers because everybody starts with a clean slate. >> yep. nashville, best power play in the regular season and struggled at times and got goals when they needed to and give you confidence and a different ball game. hjalmarsson off the boards. bickell plays it back. boedker. and ekman-larsson. get the assist on the vermette goal that came in 13:04 of this third period. brule centering pass, score! chipchura. kyle chipchura makes it 4-0. and that sends the crowd here at

united center to the exits. >> that is stunning. the last goal behind the net in front of goal. brule. worked along the board. on the received end last night. gets it out in front and kyle chipchura, the high man, good defensive position and offensive position sometimes. the recipient of the pass out front. throws it top shelf. >> first career goal for chipchura ira. set up brule. he returns to favor there. 4-0 phoenix and when you look at the list of teams that have gone out here and the first round of the playoffs. >> been saying it for years. all the teams say it. just get in the plague.

down by four goals. >> all you have to do is go back to philadelphia. flyers in the finals after they got in on the last shot of the regular season. >> yeah. on a shootout. >> yeah. beating the new york rangers in a shootout and then the final before they lost. that really did reaffirm that, yes, just get in. we'll see what happens. >> offside at the coyotes line and the phoenix franchise has never won three connective playoff games. that hot latteling on my driver's seat. this is my car. who are you? i'm the second owner. the what? i will own this car after you. look, i'm not telling you how to drive our car. our car? nor where to park her. maybe under a tree with less sap. if you're gonna have a latte in the car, keep a lid on it. it's a cappuccino. still needs a lid.

between two senators and bounds home a 2-1 lead. >> five on five, finding the young man chris crider playing in the frozen four and won a championship. look at that. >> great feed by the tape and buries it. >> and then lundqvist takes over as the new york rangers will try to shut this thing down. he had 25 saves on the night. >> hit behind the net. whoops. payback. >> big hit on chris neil there. >> he's not happy but he had the same hit in the last game. >> and then late with the goalie pulled. jas jas jas jas jason spezza. >> the rangers win it 3-2. and therefore, force a game seven.

everybody's waiting the see what chris would do and tonight was the first impression that he's really made in the league because he was everywhere tonight. you have a 6'3", 225 pound guy that moves the way he does. welcome at the speed. off the foot. pulls it up, throws it on net and helps on faceoffs. jumps in. another scoring chance for his teammate and again going through the crease, getting a penalty, he learned from that. sat in the box. he said i have to get this guy back. he makes anniversary pay and it was the game winning goal. hopefully this is more things to see from chris because a special talent to have a great future in the league. >> get excited about the great

skater. >> ottawa held the momentum for the earl pay ort of the game. how did the rangers get it from them? >> they took it back. they negated the power play. the first example is michalek. he gets the arm wrapped in around stall. now man comes out. stephon comes back. with a power play research. undisciplined here. kuba.negates a power play. get back to have possession. see richards with a great shot, comes in. tote letourneau-leblond control of the game and gave us up. >> you saw it in the highlights. spezza. after the game, rangers goalie wasn't about to get it go. >> it's an absolute joke. oh my god.

it scares me. when it's such an obvious play. goal interference and a kick and they still call it a goal. it scares many e that someone can call that. it's unbelievable. still upsets me because we have this game and then they get a chance. someone -- someone wants them, you know, back in the game, obviously. because there's no other explanation, i think. but we play well. we played really well. we deserved it so i look forward to the next game. >> that one went to montreal and made the call, right? >> went to toronto. >> excuse me. >> i was very, very shocked they made this call. i totally agree with henrik lundqvist. that's one they blew. >> we'll get a game seven on thursday night. and this is this week's schedule. tuesday night, it's game since between the florida panthers and new jersey devils from new jersey. florida can advance with a win.
