Andrew Ladd’s goal less than three minutes into overtime Thursday night capped a remarkable 2-1 comeback victory for the Chicago Blackhawks and tied the Western Conference semifinal series at two apiece against the Vancouver Canucks.

Game 5 is Saturday night in Vancouver and the Canucks will have to regroup after losing a game they apparently had sealed up.

After allowing eight goals in the two games at Vancouver, Roberto Luongo gave up just one in Game 3 and looked on his way to a shutout before Martin Havlat tied it with 2:44 left in regulation

The Hawks are still giving up the first goal too often. The Canucks had the lead in all four games of this series, but the Hawks showed more grit in Game 4 than they did in a dismal performance in Game 3.

The Blackhawks are only 3-12 in the last 15 meetings in Vancouver.
