Patrick Kane scores another overtime winner for Chicago, eliminates Minnesota
If it’s overtime, Patrick Kane is probably lurking in the shadows ready to score the winner.
And it was Kane, as he’s been known to do from time-to-time in his career, scoring the game-winning goal in overtime to send the Blackhawks to the Western Conference Final and eliminate the Wild for the second straight season.
