All five games in this matchup have gone into overtime, tying a record set during the 1951 Stanley Cup Finals between Toronto and Montreal. The sixth-seeded Blackhawks won Game 5 by a 2-1 score to cut their deficit in this series to 3-2. After Mikkel Boedker scored consecutive OT winners for Phoenix in Games 3 and 4 in Chicago, Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews played the hero for his team in Phoenix on Saturday. Toews scored his second goal of the playoffs at 2:44 of the extra session to help Chicago stave off elimination. Toews grabbed the puck after it popped out from a scrum along the right boards and he banked a shot in off the left post for the victory. "I was just jumbling along the wall there and ended up getting the puck in the open ice in the middle and felt like I had enough time to get my head up and make a clear shot and look for some open space. I just went blocker side and happy it went in," Toews said of the game-winner. Nick Leddy also scored while Corey Crawford turned away 18 shots in the win. The last time the first five games of a playoff series were decided in overtime was 61 years ago when the Maple Leafs ousted the Canadiens in five games to win the Cup. Chicago had an excellent 27-8-6 record as the host during the regular season, but the Hawks will have to win their first home tilt of this series to avoid losing in the first round for the second straight spring. The Blackhawks, who won the Stanley Cup in 2010, lost in seven games to Vancouver last year after falling behind 3-0 in that conference quarterfinal matchup. The Blackhawks have never won a series after falling behind three games to one. Phoenix, which hasnt won a playoff series since relocating from Winnipeg to Arizona prior to the 1996-97 season, is trying to avoid losing another series after holding a three games to one lead. The club has blown its three previous 3-1 series leads with the last time coming in 1999 against St. Louis. The Coyotes, who won their first-ever Pacific Division title this season, last advanced to the second round in 1987 when Winnipeg beat the Calgary Flames in a Smythe Division semifinal. Phoenix will host Game 7 on Wednesday if it cant end the series tonight. The Coyotes were 20-14-7 as the road team during the regular season. "Were going up there with the same mindset, were going to have to play a tight game and find a way to win," Coyotes head coach Dave Tippett said of his teams chances heading back to Chicago. Gilbert Brule scored the lone goal on Saturday for the Coyotes, while Mike Smith made 36 stops in the loss. Before the game, Phoenix learned that forward Raffi Torres was suspended by the NHL for 25 games stemming from an open-ice hit on Chicagos Marian Hossa in Game 3. Hossa is out indefinitely with a concussion. The Blackhawks will get forward Andrew Shaw back tonight after he served a three-game suspension for hitting Smith behind his net in Game 2. The rookie had 12 goals and 11 assists in 37 games during the regular season. Phoenix had forward Lauri Korpikoski back for Game 5 after he missed the previous two tilts with an upper-body injury. Centerman Martin Hanzal has missed the last three games with a lower-body issue and is questionable for tonight. PA Parenteau Authentic Jersey .

In an interview with The Associated Press, Francesco Ricci Bitti said Rios troubled preparations are reaching a stage where some sports may need to consider "Plan B" options for their venues. "Its getting very serious," the Italian said. "We have an organizing committee with good people but without the leverage to cope with the problem. ... We are scared. This is not a country like China where you can ask people to work by night. In Brazil, this could not happen. The government has to change speed." Ricci Bitti heads the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations, which represents the 28 sports in the Rio Games. He also leads the International Tennis Federation and serves on the IOC co-ordination commission for Rio, which made its latest visit to Brazil two weeks ago. "We can be flexible in the infrastructure but surely not in the sports venues, and we are at risk at sports venues," Ricci Bitti said. "Even for the ones that dont consider themselves at risk, we dont see a sense of urgency." The timetables are so tight that backup plans may need to be considered by some sports, he said. "We have to sit down and to start looking at some Plan Bs," Ricci Bitti said. Rios problems dominated discussions at the ASOIF general assembly, which took place during the SportAccord convention in this Mediterranean resort in southern Turkey. Rio will also top the agenda for meetings of the International Olympic Committee executive board, which meets here Wednesday and Thursday. "We need to act now because if we wait another six months, as it could be looking at the inactivity of the government, I think it will become very serious," Ricci Bitti said. "The organizing committee is doing its best, but the government is not supporting enough." Brazil is also struggling with delays ahead of hosting the World Cup this summer. With the country focusing on the World Cup, Ricci Bitti said, the Olympic preparations risk falling further behinnd. Joe Sakic. . "We cant always hope in the fact that in the end we will solve the problem," he said. "This time we have the style and the habits of the South Americans. They are not used to managing big events like this. The Olympics is a very different problem from the World Cup. The World Cup in the end is one stadium, one hotel, in many cities. Rio has a lot of problems." Rio organizing committee chief Carlos Nuzman and CEO Sidney Levy were meeting in Brasilia on Tuesday with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseffs chief of staff to discuss the Olympics. It was left to Rios executive sports director, Agberto Guimaraes, to report to the federations in Turkey. "I still think we can pull this thing together and can have great games," he told the delegates. "The moment I dont I will (give) my resignation. I still believe we can do it. Please help me get through this alive and well." Christophe Dubi, the IOCs deputy executive director for the Olympic Games, said the IOC would be sending special task forces to Rio to monitor the situation. The first group will consist of construction experts, he said. "We have to have special measures in place," he said. Dubi noted that Gilbert Felli, the IOCs long-time executive director, has been assigned to work with Rio after he steps down from his post later this year. The meetings in Turkey come amid a daily drumbeat of troubles in Brazil. On Monday, striking construction workers and security personnel clashed at Rios Olympic Park. Random gunshots were fired but no injuries were reported. Workers also went on strike Monday at the Olympic stadium that will be used for track and field at the games. The venue has been closed since last year to fix problems with the roof. Guimaraes said the repair work would completed by December. The greatest concerns centre on the Deodoro complex, an area that is to host venues for eight sports. Work has yet to begin on the site. In addition, work on the Olympic golf course is far behind schedule, raising concerns for the sports return to the games after more than a century. Guimaraes said grass would begin to be laid on the course later this month and the venue would be ready by September 2015. ' ' '
