Three stars
1. Patrick Kane, Chicago Blackhawks: After being held off the score sheet in the first two games of this series, Kane's return to the United Center could be the spark he needs to get involved in this series. Four of his seven goals this postseason have come at home. Before getting skunked in Games 1 and 2, Kane had points in seven straight. It could be Showtime in Chicago.
2. Corey Crawford, Chicago Blackhawks: After another spectacular performance in Game 2, Crawford will make his fourth home start of this postseason. He has won the previous three with a .948 save percentage, allowing just four goals so far. The workload he handled in the last game is a concern, but he's won six of his last seven postseason starts.
3. Ryan Kesler, Anaheim Ducks: Perhaps not having to agitate Toews every five seconds will allow Kesler to open things up offensively a little bit. Kesler has no points yet in the series after posting nine over his first nine postseason contests. Because he has his role in this series, it's easy to forget that he can produce. The Ducks may need him to if the Blackhawks get their matchups against the Ryan Getzlaf-Corey Perry line.
