Marian Gaborik had three shots and a minus-1 rating in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. "We had some success in their zone," Gaborik said. "We want to keep them in their zone as much as possible and create chances. We had some zone time, but we have to generate more, too, to get to Crawford and to get some goals." The Blackhawks managed to hold Los Angeles' top line off the scoresheet in the first game of the series and posted a 3-1 victory as a result. The trio of Dustin Brown, Anze Kopitar and Gaborik entered Game 1 with 16 goals and 24 assists in 14 playoff games.
