Right when the Minnesota Wild looked to be finally breaking through, Corey Crawford's blocker appeared and said "no entry."

Holding on to a one goal lead in the third period of Tuesday's Game 3, the Chicago Blackhawks goalie - seemingly down and out amid a Wild scramble - kept the puck out of the net with this sprawling blocker save on a shot credited to Mikael Granlund.

Crawford, benched earlier in the playoffs in lieu of Scott Darling, was building off a strong performance in Game 2 and appears to be back in top form.
