Corey Crawford turned away all 25 shots as the Lightning continued to have problems solving the Blackhawks goaltender. Having lost his starting job at times during the Playoffs, Crawford was spectacular in the Cup Finals allowing just two goals his last three games while giving up 10 goals altogether against the best offensive team in the regular season.
