    Blackhawks winger Patrick Sharp secured the victory for the home team with his second goal of the game, sliding the puck past Detroit goalie Chris Osgood less than two minutes into extra time.

    After dominating the first period with quick powerplay goals from Sharp and Andrew Ladd, Chicago watched the defending Stanley Cup champions seize the momentum in the second.

    A defensive struggle left the teams tied after a scoreless third period before Sharp stepped up to give Chicago a chance to tie up the best-of-seven series on home ice on Sunday.
