At 6:40 in the 2nd period, Jonathan Toews scored the game-tying goal 1-1 which would keep the Blackhawks in the series.
Saad would later crack rookie goalie Andrei Vasilievskiy's shell to tie up the series 2-2, winning Game 4 after being down 2-1 in the series.
Of course, no game is complete without a team victory, as Corey Crawford made 24 saves on the night in the gritty, defensive-led game.
Vasilevskiy replaced an injured Ben Bishop that night and hadn't yet become one of the best goalies in the NHL at that point, as he was still a rookie backup, but did his best.
#88 Vasilevskiy would make 17 saves, on 19 shots in his first NHL playoffs start.
