Game log: Vancouver Canucks defeat Chicago Blackhawks in Game 3 of NHL playoffs

No comeback tonight. Not even a home field advantage with a sell-out crowd could help Chicago as the Canucks defeated the Blackhawks 3-1 at the United Center in Chicago, per NHL.com.

Despite Brian Campell's power-play goal at 11:09 and outshooting Vancouver, the Blackhawks weren't able to come back.

Vancouver's Roberto Luongo looked more like an All-Star by making 23 saves tonight after allowing five goals in the second half of Game 2.

Vancouver now leads the series 2-1, but the Hawks will have their chance to even the series at home for Game 4 Thursday night.

Canucks fans are so excited, they're counting down the number of games left to the cup:
