Kane wasn’t done, circling from the right side to the left and beating Quick through traffic with 3:45 left for a 4-3 lead. Showtime, indeed. With Marian Gaborik parked in front of him, Crawford made a nice save on a Martinez shot with a little more than a minute left, then survived a final frantic flurry to send the series back to for Game 7.
