CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0 in Game 6 to win the Stanley Cup. This is the Blackhawks' third Stanley Cup win in the past six years and first cup home win since 1938.

Make that a championship hat trick for these Chicago Blackhawks. Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith scored as Chicago clinched a championship at home for the first time since 1938. They have won their third title with Jonathan Toews, Kane and coach Joel Quenneville leading the way.

Keith, the Blackhawks' iron man, gave Chicago a 1-0 lead when he knocked in his own rebound with 2:47 left in the second period.

Kane made it 2-0 in the third when he scored on a one-timer on a three-on-two rush with 5:13 left in the game - his first goal of the series. It was the first time in the final that either team had a two-goal lead.
