CHICAGO (AP) — Brent Seabrook, Dave Bolland and Kris Versteeg scored less than 6 minutes apart, and the Chicago Blackhawks took a 3-0 lead over the Philadelphia Flyers in the first period in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals on Sunday night.
The series is tied 2-2, with each team winning twice on home ice.
Back home, where they took the first two games before dropping two in Philadelphia, the Blackhawks were aggressive from the start and broke through toward the latter stages of the period.
Flyers goalie Michael Leighton allowed all three goals in the first period, when he faced 13 shots. He was replaced at the start of the second by backup Brian Boucher.
