The 5 best photos from Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final
The Tampa Bay Lightning gained a 2-1 series advantage following another close contest in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, edging the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on the back of a gutsy performance by netminder Ben Bishop.
Every game thus far in the series has been decided by one goal and Monday's contest was no exception, requiring a late goal by Cedric Paquette to separate the Lightning from the Blackhawks. Chicago and Tampa Bay also traded goals 13 seconds apart in the third period.
Here are five of the best photos from a pivotal contest at United Center:
