The Game in GIFs: Blackhawks vs. Islanders

A pair of power play goals and a clutch penalty kill by the Blackhawks helped send this game to extra time. Five wild minutes of 3-on-3 action couldn’t decide this one, so it went to a shootout. Kane and Toews delivered and Ward stoned the Islanders en route to a 3-2 Hawks win! Check out all the highlights right here.
