Patrick Kane's first goal of the Western Conference Final was a thing of beauty.

The Chicago Blackhawks forward nearly lost the puck entering the Anaheim Ducks' zone late in the first period of Thursday's Game 3, but reached back to collect it in the slot before spinning and firing a backhand shot without looking at the net. The shot sailed past Frederik Andersen to tie the contest 1-1.

Kane recorded 13 points in the opening two rounds of the playoffs but was held off the scoresheet in Games 1 and 2 against the Ducks.
