For the fifth time in the last seven seasons, the Chicago Blackhawks have reached the Western Conference finals. Stellar saves by Corey Crawford, another timely goal by Patrick Kane and a composed finish despite a frenzied attempt by Minnesota to send Game 4 into overtime all helped the Blackhawks complete a sweep of the Wild in their second-round playoff series with a 4-3 victory on Thursday night. Jason Pominville and Nino Niederreiter scored with 2:18 and 1:27 remaining to give the Wild one last chance, but the final few whacks were either wide or turned aside by Crawford. The Blackhawks improved to 30-0, including 5-0 this postseason, when leading after two periods.
