The Chicago Blackhawks tied the Stanley Cup Final at two games apiece on Wednesday with a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Blackhawks' Brandon Saad backhanded the go-ahead goal through the legs of rookie Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy in the third period. The first four games in the best-of-seven series all have been decided by one goal. The last time that happened in the finals was in 1968. Game 4 was played in Chicago, but the series now moves to Tampa for Game 5 on Saturday.
