The Boston Bruins are ready to win on the road again as they travel to Chicago for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs to take on the Blackhawks, who came through with a clutch overtime win on Wednesday night to tie the series at 2-2 with three games to go.

The Blackhawks looked helpless after Game 3, as they were shutout 2-0 after a phenomenal game from Tuukka Rask and although they hadn't scored since the previous game's first period, the team came out firing in Game 4 and scored in the first period. Boston tied the game and then the real scoring began, as the two teams combined for 11 goals in the game as the Blackhawks won 6-5 in overtime.

Here is the Boston Bruins vs. Chicago Blackhawks live stream for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The Game 4 matchup was the third game in overtime, tying a number of other series in the past for that many extra-frame games and the Blackhawks desperately wanted the win, as they had previously lost home ice advantage with a loss in Game 2. Now things are back to even and the Blackhawks know they can rally, as they did that against the Red Wings after going down 3-1 in that series. The team stormed back with two straight wins against Detroit to force a Game 7 and then the team won in overtime with a goal from Brent Seabrook, who has had a scoring touch throughout the postseason, as he scored the winner again in Game 4 of the finals in overtime for the 6-5 victory.

Seabrook sealed the win for the Blackhawks to pull the series even and in the high-scoring matchup Chicago got goals from six different players, including the first goal of the series for captain Jonathan Toews, who really needs to get going for the team. The Blackhawks proved they could win on the road and now the series is back to home ice advantage, as both teams have won one game on the road each. The Blackhawks started the season on a record streak and now they have three games left to win two to take their second Cup in four years, while the Bruins are trying to do the same in three seasons.

The team got goals from Michal Handzus and Patrick Kane as well as Seabrook, Toews and Patrick Sharp, giving the team a deep roster of scoring heading into Game 5. The team will need more of the same to beat Rask, as he has been mostly stellar throughout the playoffs and will continue to do so. The Bruins have been playing extremely well all series and after getting two goals from Patrice Bergeron, they will look to win Game 5 on the road. The team also got goals from Milan Lucic and Johnny Boychuk and Rich Peverley, while Rask made 41 saves in the game.

Corey Crawford has been excellent for the Blackhawks as well and he finished Game 4 with 28 saves for the win. Crawford will need to keep playing well for the team to win and Game 5 is a crucial matchup for both sides in their quests for the Cup.
