3. The Game
● Duncan Keith earned the honor of most valuable
player and received the 2015 Conn Smythe
trophy for his impressive display. The first
defender to earn the accolade since 2007, Keith
gave his team their first goal of the game in the
second period, scoring on his own rebound. The
Blackhawks’ second goal of the night came from
winger Patrick Kane, who turned a pass from
Brad Richards into a wide-open goal late in the
third period.

● This marks the Blackhawks’ sixth Stanley Cup in
franchise history, with previous wins secured in
1934, 1938, 1961, 2010, and 2013. It was also
their first home-ice win since 1938, and center
and team captain Jonathan Toews had the honor
of being the first to hoist the Stanley Cup before
a reveling hometown crowd. Named the playoff
MVP in 2010, Toews has led the Blackhawks to
all three of their recent championship victories.
