THIS DATE IN HISTORY: June 22

2013: Patrick Kane scores two goals to help the Chicago Blackhawks defeat the Boston Bruins 3-1 in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final at United Center, moving them within one win of their second championship in four seasons.

Kane scores late in the first period and early in the second to give Chicago a 2-0 lead. Boston defenseman Zdeno Chara cuts it to 2-1 at 3:40 of the third period, but the Bruins can't beat Chicago goalie Corey Crawford again, and an empty-net goal by Dave Bolland wraps up the win, which puts the Blackhawks up 3-2 in the best-of-7 series.

"I think everyone wants to be that guy in big-time games," Kane says, "and I've been lucky enough in a couple to step up."
