Game 3 will be remembered for two things: Raffi Torres' vicious hit on 'Hawks star Marian Hossa in the first period that caused Hossa to be taken to the hospital on a stretcher, and a wild third period that saw the teams exchange three minutes in less than a 1:30.
Andrew Brunette and Michael Frolik tallied goals in the game for Chicago.
