14:34Chugging along the wall by O'Brien.
14:35And he runs the post!
14:38St. Petersburg's been working hard all game, a reason why they're still in it, and they
14:42had an opportunity to cut the deficit if it goes off the pipe and out.
14:47Chicago's game possession along the board.
14:50Hot grab by Vlasic.
14:54Slides it diagonally to Tara Bynan.

16:25Oh, this is a smart play.
16:27They've been in their own zone.
16:28They get it out.
16:29Now they've got some energy jumping on the ice looking to retreat.
16:37There's the horn for period number one as it comes to an end.

17:50Bye.
17:53Bye.
20:53James, this has been a really fast game.
20:55It's got a ton of pace, but the goaltenders have been excellent in this one.
20:58Back and forth action, making a number of saves.
21:01You've got to expect it's going to blow up and soon if this continues.
21:03I'm surprised it's only won nothing.
21:05There we go.
21:06There we go.
21:38Chicago's got a hold of the putt now.
21:43Back to the bull line.
21:51St. Petersburg's been getting closer to the net and getting better.
21:54Oh, it goes off the pipe.
21:55This game is close.
21:56They can get another one.
21:57They can get right back in.
21:58And look at this game, forces the turnover.
22:00And look at this.
22:02They've been watching the intensity here.
22:07Right across to Teraheinen.
22:18St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the wall.
22:21St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the wall.
22:22Through the neutral zone now, picking up steam.
22:25St. Petersburg's played along the boards.
22:28Oh, here we go.
22:29Dishes it off.
22:32Here's a rip.
22:33Don't eyes him up at the same.
22:35Moves the puck down low.
22:37And it's freed up over to his teammate with a nice kick pass.
22:42Goes right to the crease.
22:44Moves by the chip.
22:47They are really buzzing here in the offensive end.
22:51Picked off.
22:52And they'll skate it out of the zone.
22:56The Blackhawks looking against the hot wall.
22:59Big save.
23:01Well, the shooter's in a coveted spot on the ice.
23:03Right in the middle of it with a good look.
23:05And he makes an incredible save by getting square to the puck
23:07and turning it aside.
23:12These are the types of games that offense love and defense
23:14hates here, James.
23:16I mean, the puck is going north-south every single time.
23:19Both teams trading chances at either end.
23:29The Bears really need to find a way to start finishing
23:32on some of these scoring chances
23:34because they trail here in the middle.
23:38Puck is dropping.
23:39He wins the draw here in the defensive zone.
23:43Nice speed at center.
23:44Moves up ahead now.
23:45To his teammate!
23:46Oh, just a great heads-up play by Shen.
23:51Intercepts it in the neutral zone.
23:53Swatted aside by the blocker.
23:59Oh, we'll get some tired defenders as icing is the call.
24:07Still lots of time left here in this frame.
24:10Chicago's ahead, 1-0.
24:15And they take possession here inside the offensive zone.
24:19Center bears out on that bottom hand.
24:21A clean win, and you can see them all setting up,
24:23looking to attack the net against this tired group.
24:27St. Petersburg's got possession to the puck.
24:31Can't hang on to the puck after the play.
24:35Oh, and some smooth skating to lose the defender there.
24:39And that one's turned away.
24:41St. Petersburg's got the puck along the boards.
24:45Here they come up along the wing.
24:50Morse taking it from his own end.
24:54And he takes the feed.
24:57St. Petersburg's ready to go on the attack.
25:04Looking to make something happen to the offensive zone.
25:07Oh, they telegraph the pass, and he picks it off.
25:11Chicago's been working hard away from the puck,
25:13and they're using their awareness to take away angles and seams.
25:16And this is something they're doing with their stick positioning.
25:19Coach talked about at pregame how important it was going to be.
25:23Slides the puck over.
25:24Oh, hello!
25:25Comes up with the puck with the quick steal.
25:27Nice flick of the stick.
25:29Here he is.
25:30Takes the shot.
25:31Long jam in front.
25:32That's broken up.
25:34Picked up along the wall by Zuccarello.
25:37Passes it over to Glenn Denning.
25:42Chicago's got the puck to the defensive end.
25:45They gain possession here inside the neutral zone.
25:50And he takes the feed.
25:53Across the line.
25:57Here's a chance in front.
25:59They're kicked off in front.
26:01Here they come through center and into the offensive end.
26:09Skates and breaks.
26:11They score!
26:13Striking!
26:14Well, you can't worry about what happened in the game, James.
26:16It's all about what you do now.
26:18Staying in the present.
26:19That's exactly what they've done.
26:20And they've got the equalizer.
26:22That's what you call having a knack for the net, James.
26:25When you get in tight and you're sniffing around,
26:27you better get that puck off quickly,
26:28because you know there are defenders all around it
26:30that are gonna come and close.
26:47More than half the period has gone by.
26:49Hope you're enjoying this one.
26:51You can feel the energy in this crowd.
26:54It's a tie game.
26:55Shicks off the coverage.
26:57And his stick to locks is on the play.
27:00Puck is frozen, and we get a stoppage in play.
27:07Puck possession so critical in today's game,
27:10and the official ready to drop the puck right here.
27:13Cover, he's won the draw deep in the defensive zone.
27:17Puck scooped up by Jones.
27:20Takes it to the net.
27:21Stores the goal ahead for the second spot.
27:26Well, and this has been trending to happen, James.
27:28I've been posing on the front for me since an upward trajectory
27:31as his game's progressing and find the back of the net.
27:35I love that he fights to get tight to the net here,
27:37and it's all about accuracy and a quick release.
27:40It's not about how hard it is, and he doesn't miss.
27:58St. Petersburg's taking a one goal lead here in period number two.
28:01Yeah, and now it's about not sitting back, not saying,
28:03hey, we've got to leave, we're going to protect it,
28:05but being aggressive and trying to go after more.
28:08And now he tries to get it across to Slager.
28:11St. Petersburg's got possession here in the neutral zone.
28:14It's shot!
28:15Denied by the goaltender.
28:17Now it's been dialed in right from puck drop, James.
28:20I mean, he's made the key save that he needs to make,
28:22and it's all about pretender managing the momentum swings of the game,
28:25and the timeliness of the saves have really given his team an opportunity.
28:31Take it along the wall by Donato.
28:34And a good use of the body to knock the puck loose.
28:38And that's a great heads-up play by Smith.
28:42Feeds the puck to Jones.
28:44Loses the coverage there.
28:48Scooped up along the way by Struble.
28:51Nowhere for that shot to go through.
28:56And they'll just dump it in and go for a line change.
28:59The Bears scoop it up along the boards.
29:01Tosses it on to Stenland.
29:07Chicago's got the puck.
29:09Passed up ahead.
29:11Fast and quick lead pass.
29:13Puck picked up by Barron.
29:15Tosses it on to Albert Cabell.
29:18The Blackhawks take possession here in the open ice.
29:22Sends it over to Zuccarello.
29:24That knocks him off the puck.
29:26Barron studded in the offensive zone.
29:29Cross-eye speed and a beauty.
29:32Moves it quickly over to Lozon.
29:35Sends it on in front.
29:37Oh, he comes up by the stop.
29:39Moves the puck to Zuccarello.
29:42And tries to make a diagonal pass to Joseph.
29:47Skates in behind the cage.
29:49And that climbs off the iron.
29:52Ellis has the puck and holds on for a whistle.
29:58Here in the late goings of the period, St. Petersburg's got a slim lead.
30:03They lead it 2-1.
30:08And they win the draw in the offensive zone.
30:10And they go to work.
30:12From the back of the cage with the puck.
30:15Gains it over.
30:16Gains it over.
30:17Turns out one away.
30:19Quick pass across to Albert Cabell.
30:22They gain the zone from the left side.
30:28Takes the feed at the point.
30:30Here's a short pass to Pujolov.
30:32And the traffic neutralizes that threat.
30:35Quick pass to Nazar.
30:38Here's a short pass save.
30:41We're gonna face off after the puck stays covered up.
30:48St. Petersburg's offense has been in full effect tonight.
30:52As they continue to lead late in this second period.
30:56And as the puck is dropped, they win the draw here inside the defensive zone.
31:00Pushes it across to Bastion.
31:06Slides it back to the blue line.
31:09Pujols gliding the puck along the line.
31:11Taken by Tucker.
31:14And now it's grabbed by Kaiser.
31:17Tries to get the puck over to Pujolov.
31:20Tries to the sweet spot.
31:21The guys are in close.
31:23Man, is he ever difficult to defend.
31:25Hey, James?
31:26I mean, so difficult when you're shoving.
31:27You're doing everything you possibly can to move and separate him from the puck.
31:31But his core strength and his balance is certainly the victor as he takes this one to the net.
31:35Ellis made a great A save there.
31:37And it just shows that he wants that puck, right?
31:39He's so aggressive.
31:40He's so assertive in his crease.
31:42And he knew where that puck was going every step of the way.
31:48Officials getting ready to drop the puck.
31:50Puck possession so key in today's game.
31:57The Bears win the draw.
32:00Takes control of the puck.
32:02And he gets in the lane to block that.
32:05Oh, how can they keep it out?
32:07What a blocker stop by Ellis.
32:11And it's a quick pass to O'Brien.
32:15Handles the puck at the point.
32:17Solid check to slow him down.
32:25Well, two periods down and one more still to come.
32:29Third period action right after we get a clean sheet of ice.
32:32And please don't forget to answer your right card.
32:34Please find a full service.
32:36We'll be right back before the end of tonight's game.
32:38One.
37:49Chicago's been out-battled in this game, and the primary reason why they're trailing in it, if you don't have
37:54urgency, you're not going to get the puck.
37:55If you don't get the puck, you can't do anything with it.
37:58You certainly can't score, James.
37:59They've been back on their heels and chasing the game, they've been back on their heels, they've been back on
38:12their heels and chasing the game.
38:14He's got a good match.
38:21They've got the goal, but they're going to get the ball, and they're going to get the ball.
38:30They're going to go on their heels.
38:35They're going to be right back.
38:46Lots of time left in this period.
38:48The Bears lead it 2-1 in what has been an entertaining game thus far.
38:53They win the draw and go on the attack.
38:56Too much congestion blocks the shot.
39:02And the goalie covers up for the whistle.
39:08Alex is definitely tracking the play tonight here, James.
39:11Just looks like he's seeing everything.
39:13And when he sees it, he's able to direct it to safety.
39:16I just like the way he's playing.
39:17He's confident between the pipes.
39:19And what that does is it gives confidence to his entire team ahead of him.
39:32St. Petersburgs have been on a roll offensively tonight.
39:35And they lead it here early in this third period.
39:38And they win the draw on their own end.
39:41Quick feed to Jensen.
39:45The Bears get a hold of the puck in the open ice.
39:48Quick cross ice pass to Obey Kudel.
39:52That's some smart heads-up defensive play by Nazar.
39:55The Blackhawks are doing a great job of anticipating the play.
39:59And that's why the puck is on their sit.
40:01They're intercepting pucks all game long.
40:03They've got to make good on them.
40:04They've got to transfer and head north and start cashing in.
40:07In front of the net, the goaltender covers up for a whistle on the play.
40:13Officials are set.
40:14Players seem ready.
40:15We're ready to get this thing back underway.
40:21Obey Kudel's won the draw here in the offensive zone.
40:27Slides and a cross.
40:29Moose it to Loza.
40:30Turned aside with the club by night.
40:34Chicago's looking to break out.
40:37Tosses it to Bertuzzi.
40:40How's that break?
40:41Tosses it to Loza.
40:42Tosses it to Loza.
40:43What a play.
40:54Any time you have numbers off the rush, you typically have speed as indicated right here, James.
40:59You're trying to create two-on-ones, you have net drive, you got it all, and you bury it.
41:24We're still in the early stages of this period, and it's all tied up.
41:35St. Petersburg's won the draw.
41:37They take possession here in the open ice.
41:41Tosses it over.
41:43The Blackhawks take possession in the defensive end.
41:46Sliders carrying it ahead.
41:49Cup grab by DiNano.
41:51And that goes off the glove, and it stays out.
41:55Picked up along the boards by DiNano.
41:57They score!
41:59A clutch, cold hits of the lead!
42:01Well, it's very timely, isn't it, James, to give them the lead, and also the confidence
42:06that they've shown these past few shifts have led to that opportunity.
42:10Everyone on the team recognizes that when their leader scores, it's about the intangible,
42:14the hard work, the work ethic, the drive to compete, and that sends a message right
42:19down the entire lineup.
42:20Let's get going.
42:21Let's get going.
42:32The Blackhawks needed that in a big way.
42:34They now have the lead here in this third period.
42:37It's been a back-and-forth game.
42:38It's really been neck-and-neck, and although I felt like they've dictated the pace in this
42:41third period, it's about continuing to press and really try to smother their opponent.
42:50And that's broken up with a stick in front.
42:53St. Petersburg's gained possession along the boards.
42:57Good fight for the puck along the boards.
43:02Reaves it perfectly in the defensive end.
43:05Angles it over to Carrick.
43:08St. Petersburg's cut it along the wall.
43:11Penalty coming up as the play's blown dead.
43:16Joseph's going off for cross-checking.
43:18You know the coach is going to be detailing the habits.
43:21Get in the shooting lane.
43:22Sacrifice your body.
43:23Push to the outside.
43:24Get the puck down the ice.
43:25You've got a one-goal lead.
43:27You want to play all on your toes coming out of it.
43:33And they'll roll the power play in and right back out.
43:37Well, it's time to be opportunistic on the power play here, James.
43:40You have an opportunity to get the equalizer.
43:42It all starts with the face-off, though.
43:43You want to get to your set spots right away and attack the net.
43:46Shakes off the defender with some nifty moves.
43:50Oh, great save.
43:52And a beauty on the flyer.
43:54Oh, it doesn't have any problem stopping that, but even better, redirecting it to the corner.
44:00Oh, look at that pass.
44:04Grabbed along the board by Barron.
44:07Oh, he'll feel that one.
44:08What a block.
44:09Well, his firing on all cylinders here getting to that shot lane.
44:12He really anticipates the greatest threat on the ice, and he makes sure that he redirects that puck.
44:18Another face-off looming here on this power play.
44:26Off-fakes his own face-off, and he wins the draw.
44:29Moosa quickly over to D'Angelo.
44:32And a pass goes on the stick.
44:34Score!
44:35Sand-up power play.
44:37Hoops to go.
44:37Finishing this.
44:38They're tied it up.
44:39And the power play unit knew what was at stake.
44:41They knew that they had an opportunity to get the equalizer in this game, and they executed perfectly.
44:47This is a great power play goal, James.
44:49They have the execution in terms of their passing along the outside, and then they attack the net with a
44:53shot.
44:53You have to have net friend presence and create a screen.
44:56That's exactly what they have, and they capitalize as a result.
44:59Score!
45:02Score!
45:09Score!
45:14St. Petersburg's got some fight in them tonight.
45:16Here we go.
45:17All tied up in the third.
45:18Yeah, these games are great, James, especially when they go back and forth right into the third period.
45:23But finally, they're taking advantage of the puck possession that they've had and cashing in on some opportunities.
45:30Takes the strike three!
45:32No great move to sidestrap the check.
45:37Chicago's got the puck in their own end.
45:42And now it's to slank.
45:44Toss it up, but center.
45:48Struble's moving it ahead.
45:55Takes the feet at the back end.
45:57Blocked, although that might be a save.
45:59Well, that is a save, James.
46:00I don't think the goaltender would have gotten to position in time.
46:03He's able to take it away.
46:06St. Petersburg's got the puck.
46:10Oh, here we go.
46:11This team knows how to turn it up another gear, and they have done that here.
46:17And they've got it in their own end now.
46:20Here's the feed.
46:22Stubbett!
46:23And they take a drive to clutch city as they take the lead.
46:27Well, the lead is in their hands, and now it's about building off of that good shift management, dictating pace,
46:34controlling the offensive zone.
46:36Everything now is on the line.
46:58St. Petersburg's got the go-ahead goal here in period number three.
47:01Well, and they'll certainly want to win their space off, James, because they've dominated in terms of possession.
47:06When they get it, they don't give it up easily.
47:08That's how they scored that last score.
47:10And now he angles it across to Ciccarello.
47:13Picked up along the road by Lozog.
47:15Quick feed down low.
47:18On the attack, moves the puck into the corner.
47:21And he takes the pass.
47:23Gives them nothing in front.
47:32Black's been sniffing in and around the net all game long, multiple scoring opportunities finally going to connect on the
47:37last one, but if you look at his body of work over the course of the game, he's had a
47:41lot of sustained pressure in the offensive zone, and he's been a real player.
47:45He's been a real threat.
47:55Inching closer to the midway mark of the period.
47:58St. Petersburg's got the momentum with a one-goal lead.
48:01They'd love to add to that.
48:07Badars won the draw here in the defensive zone.
48:11Takes the feed.
48:12Oh, look at this.
48:14Trying to break free.
48:16He scores!
48:18And look at that relief on his face.
48:21Oh, that says it all, doesn't it, James?
48:23I mean, he's been waiting a while for this one.
48:25He's had some good looks, but unable to convert, but he does tonight.
48:28Number one on the season, finally.
48:32Well, this is a great play, James.
48:34He gets in on the breakaway, and it's all about confidence at this point.
48:36A recognition to trust your skill set.
48:39He does just that, and he finds the back of the net.
48:50The Blackhawks have scratched and clawed their way to making this a tie game here at a critical point in
48:56the third.
48:56That's critical timing, James.
48:59The bench just erupts with that equalizer.
49:01And listen, you score a goal like this often, you put your opponent on their heels because they knew they
49:06had the game within reach.
49:07Now it's a much different story.
49:10Here's a shot!
49:11What a stop!
49:12Oh, and another big stop!
49:14I'm not sure if anyone's helping him out there, but he's dialed in and doing it all himself, making consecutive
49:19saves.
49:20Reeves are perfectly breaking up the plan.
49:23Here they come on the attack.
49:25Here's a pass and print!
49:28Scores!
49:29What a finish on the play!
49:39Well, they gain the advantage through the neutral zone here, James, and they're able to enter with an odd man
49:43rush.
49:43And I love the way the puck carrier just manipulates their opponent to open up scenes.
49:48They have the extra ice, they have the extra player, and they finish.
50:05St. Petersburg's gotta be feeling confident right now with the time remaining, Cheryl.
50:08Up one with that kind of time remaining.
50:10You know you've got the game in your hands, but you have to be able to close it out.
50:14You know how you do that?
50:15You find a way to get the puck, and you have to manage it.
50:18Now into the offensive zone for the right side.
50:22St. Petersburg's looking to break out of their own end.
50:27The Bears played along the wing.
50:29Here's a short pass to Loza.
50:34Takes possession.
50:35And he sidesteps the check there.
50:38The puck scooped up by Bedard.
50:42Cissons moves it into the attacking end.
50:45Huge play in his own end to come up with the puck.
50:48Quick pass to Carrick.
50:50Moves the puck over to Stinland.
50:52Here's a chance!
50:54Knight's gonna pounce on the puck to get a whistle here.
50:57And there's a strategy to this one.
50:59It is, and it's a good strategy.
51:01Listen, they've been outplayed.
51:02And he's been phenomenal in the net.
51:04And every play matters.
51:05And the right one right now is to pounce on this puck, get the whistle, and reset the tone in
51:10your own zone.
51:13Oh, five!
51:15Jocelyn for the puck and it's knocked away.
51:18Slides down the check.
51:20Stopped by the goaltender.
51:22There's the whistle as the puck is frozen up.
51:25Struble's been on fire lately.
51:27Everything he throws at the net seems to be going in.
51:30When it's working for you, you gotta be confident.
51:32You feel like nothing can go wrong.
51:37The Bears win the draw.
51:39Quick pass to Struble.
51:42Sends the paint in front.
51:43And he denies that great opportunity there.
51:52St. Petersburg's attempt to put more pucks on net has paid off as they lead it in the third.
51:58The Blackhawks start with the puck at the road end.
52:01Knights opted to hang on to the puck for a faceoff.
52:07Past the midway mark in this period.
52:09St. Petersburg's leading by one.
52:12They're up 5-4.
52:16And Vancouver Bell has won the faceoff here in the offensive zone.
52:20They're on some smooth skin with the nose of the defender there.
52:26Well, this game looks like it's going right down to the wire, James.
52:30And one of the most important things to do now is make sure you make good blue line decisions.
52:38Tries to feed it over to Joseph.
52:41Shakes off the coverage.
52:43Takes a shot.
52:44Gets a piece of it to keep it out.
52:47Another stop by the goaltender.
52:54Here in the later stages of this period.
52:56One goal game here.
52:58Five-fours where we sit.
53:02And off the draw they win possession.
53:04Five-fours.
53:06Five-fours.
53:06Gets it to the middle.
53:08And that doesn't connect.
53:10Point on the doorstep.
53:11Oh, what a stop on the play.
53:13Gets all of it with the paddle.
53:20St. Petersburg's been on a roll offensively tonight.
53:23Lots of chances.
53:24And they lead it late in this third.
53:26The frozen biscuits dropped and we are back underway here.
53:31Takes the feed.
53:32Here's the pass down low.
53:35Takes the pass in the corner.
53:37Oh, and they'll be forced to start over from center as the puck leaves the zone.
53:42Slides the puck down low.
53:45Big hit and that frees up possession.
53:49Avoids the poke check and maintains possession.
53:52He to the middle.
53:54Great defensive play to pick off the pass.
53:59There's the whistle icing the call.
54:02Big face off looming.
54:06A critical draw here.
54:16The peers win the draw.
54:21Right up the gun into the attacking zone.
54:25Cross-eye speed in the offensive end.
54:29Receives the pass.
54:30Quick feed to Liza.
54:33Lose the puck along the half wall.
54:36Loses the coverage there.
54:39From the point they take control of it.
54:41St. Petersburg's game possession.
54:44And a great scene.
54:46Moves close to the point.
54:48That's blocked.
54:49Big time stop.
54:52The Blackhawks move the puck in the defensive zone.
54:56Here they come.
55:00And he loses possession of the puck after trying to make one too many moves.
55:04And they get the puck out of the danger zone.
55:08All quick work with the stick and comes up with the puck.
55:10And now he moves it quickly to Obey Cudel.
55:14Drives to the paint.
55:16And he elects to explore his options.
55:18Huge steal in his own end.
55:21Moves it to Bedard.
55:22Broken up with the stick in the defensive end.
55:25Chicago's emptied the net.
55:27The extra attackers now out on the ice.
55:30Backhand with intention.
55:31That's a paddling.
55:33Pop moved back to center, forcing him to regroup.
55:37Fires it on net.
55:38What a stop as he puts on the fire.
55:42Moves it quickly over to Bedard.
55:44And they'll cover it up, forcing a stoppage in play.
55:49That is a lonely cage at the other end of the ice here, Cheryl.
55:53Well, it certainly is.
55:54And an extra attacker on the ice.
55:55Possession is critical.
55:56Got to win this face-off.
55:59Trying to clear.
56:00From the point.
56:01Looks to make something happen.
56:03Guys, the shooter on that plane.
56:07Oh, he'll feel that one.
56:10Pires it.
56:11And it usually stops that one.
56:13Ellis makes a good save and redirects the puck to the corner.
56:17And this hangs up in the front of the net.
56:18Really no trash for saving shot opportunity.
56:21That's all she wrote from this one.
56:24An emphatic win that we could put that W as a capital.
56:28Well, it's almost as if their opponent were defeated before the game started.
56:31I mean, you can see it in the warm-up just in their body language.
56:33Playing a team that's on a winning streak.
56:35Playing with a ton of confidence.
56:37They didn't give their opponent any opportunity to get life in this game.
56:41Thanks so much for taking time out of your schedule to join us tonight.
56:45From all of us here at EA Sports, I'm James Cebulski.
56:48See ya!
56:56See ya!
56:57See ya!
