The defending Stanley Cup champions are still alive.
After allowing the St. Louis Blues to erase a two-goal deficit and force overtime, the Chicago Blackhawks avoided elimination thanks to a Patrick Kane goal in double overtime.
The NHL's regular-season leading scorer couldn't have picked a better time to record his first goal of the postseason.
Game 6 is set for Saturday back in Chicago.
