Monday night in Boston, the Chicago Blackhawks have the opportunity to win their second Stanley Cup in four seasons, and their fifth Stanley Cup in the team's history. With a 3-1 victory at home on Saturday night, the Blackhawks have pulled themselves within one win of the greatest trophy in sports yet again. In order to get the series-clinching victory in emeny territory on Monday night, several things that we saw in the previous two games need to continue.

First of all, Patrick Kane needs to keep his game at the leve that we all expect him to. He has not had a monumental playoff season by any means, but has scored three goals in the past two games, adding two key tallies in Chicago's Game Five victory. Kane was a huge part of Chicago's championship in 2010, and the team will need him to come through in the clutch again in order to achieve that success.

A healthy and productive Jonathan Toews would be a major plus for Chicago as well. Toews had been a non-factor throughout most of this year's playoff season, but the Hawks have still managed to put themselves in the position to win the Cup. He finally broke out of a scoring drought with a goal in Game Four, but his status for Game Six is uncertain after being the victim of a huge hit delivered by Boston's Johnny Boychuk.

If Jonathan Toews comes back healthy for the Blackhawks in Game Six and gets himself on the scoreboard, he will provide a huge boost to his team and will have the chance to have the Stanley Cup handed to him by Gary Bettman after Game Six.

Blackhawk goalie Corey Crawford also had a stellar performance in Game Five, surrendering only one goal after allowing five in the Game Four overtime victory. The Bruins know how to score on Crawford, scoring almost all of their goals on Crawford's high glove side, but he stymied all but one of their efforts in Saturday night's win.

One thing that the Blackhawks have been extremely successful with this series that has been a major part of why they lead it is shutting down Boston's Brad Marchand and Zdeno Chara. Both were expected to be huge road blocks for Chicago, but they have hardly posed any problem whatsoever. Chicago should be thankful that neither of the two have shown up, as the Blackhawks would likely be on the brink of elimination if just one of them did.

Chicago needs to be wary of Boston's resilience. The Bruins trailed the Vancouver Canucks three games to two in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, but got the win on home ice in Game Six only to win Game Seven on the road by a score of 4-0. Boston is a team that never gives up, and Chicago needs to try to finish them off as soon as possible if the Blackhawks want another championship.
