With all five games of the 2015 Stanley Cup Final each decided by one goal, margins for error have been razor thin. That was evident in Game 5 between the Chicago Blackhawks and Tampa Bay Lightning, when a couple of goaltending gaffes helped decide the course of the game and perhaps the remainder of the series.
During a sequence early in the first period, Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford erased a mistake of his own doing, the Lightning lost a key player, and Blackhawks forward Patrick Sharp cashed in on a big mistake by Lightning goalie Ben Bishop. It added up to a 1-0 lead and a 2-1 win for the Blackhawks, and a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 seven series, putting Chicago in position to win the Stanley Cup in Game 6 at United Center on Monday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, TVA Sports).
It started when Crawford played the puck to the left of his net and his outlet pass was intercepted by Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov. Crawford stopped Kucherov's shot at an open net with his stick to deny Tampa Bay the first goal of the game. In the process, Kucherov collided with Crawford, crashed shoulder first into the post, and left after three shifts 5:22 into the game and did not return.
