Blackhawks: Jonathan Toews makes team history in win

Jonathan Toews made team history in the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 win in Game 3 against the Oilers.

Jonathan Toews is one of the greatest players in Chicago Blackhawks history. He adds to his already Hall of Fame legacy tonight with his 11th career playoff game-winning goal as the most in team history, tied with Stan Mikita, Bobby Hull, and teammate Patrick Kane.

Toews scored two goals in last night’s 4-3 win. That game was a crazy one, with both teams taking one-goal leads at their own times.

This definitely felt the most like Blackhawks’ playoff hockey, with a close game ending late, with two late goals by Matthew Highmore and then Jonathan Toews. I mean, does it get much better than that?
