Final Score: Phoenix 3, Chicago 2 (OT)

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Mikkel Boedker's first career playoff goal was an overtime winner. Boedker beat Corey Crawford from a sharp angle along the left goal line with 6:45 remaining in the extra session to lift the Phoenix Coyotes to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 3 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series at United Center. Taylor Pyatt started the play by dumping the puck into the Chicago zone. Pyatt jostled with Chicago defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson while attempting to gain possession. A trailing Boedker then swooped in and managed to put the puck behind Crawford, who was hugging the near post. This contest will best be remembered, however, for a brutal first-period hit that caused Chicago forward Marian Hossa to exit the ice on a stretcher. Hossa had just passed the puck in the neutral zone when he was steamrolled by gritty forward Raffi Torres, who left his feet to deliver a late hit that targeted Hossa's head. Torres has a history of being suspended for overly aggressive conduct. Tuesday's incident came on the heels of Phoenix goaltender Mike Smith being shaken up on a hit by Andrew Shaw in Game 2 on Saturday. Shaw was given a three-game suspension. Although he missed practice Monday, Smith made 35 saves to backstop the Coyotes to a 2-1 series lead.
