There's no rest for the weary.

After an exhausting Game 2 between the Anaheim Ducks and Chicago Blackhawks that ended in triple overtime thanks to a Marcus Kruger goal, the two squads are set to meet again Thursday in Chicago.

Despite the addition of a near extra game to the series thanks to the extended overtime, Jonathan Toews says the Blackhawks are energized.

"I think considering the way we played, we know there's a lot more in the tank," Toews told Tracey Myers of CSN. "I think we're excited to get back to home ice, to try to get them on their heels a little bit more, find the excitement, that energy we've had in our own building."

The Ducks aren't happy about the loss at home, especially after the lengthy fight.

Anaheim head coach Bruce Boudreau described his team as "angry" after the contest, so the Blackhawks will need to be prepared to counter what is sure to be an aggressive attack. Though, Toews thinks the best way to do that is to get focused and stay positive.

"We're here. (There is) not a lot of time before it's time to go back to bed, get ready for another game tomorrow, no time to really sit around and enjoy a big win," Toews said Wednesday. "The best we can do is feed off of that positive energy it gave us in tomorrow night's game, try to continue that good feeling."

The best-of-seven series is tied at one game apiece.
