the chicago blackhawks entered the playoffs as the central division's third seed. the blackhawks lost the last three games of the regular season, thus they did not win the central division title. after defeating the nashville predators four games to two in the first round, they went on to sweep the minnesota wild in the second round, then defeated the anaheim ducks four games to three in the western conference final. it was only the third time in blackhawks history that they had won a playoff series after trailing three games to two. on may 19, 2015, the blackhawks played the longest game in their history (116:12) against the ducks as part of the western conference finals. the blackhawks defeated anaheim in game 7 and moved on to face the tampa bay lightning in the stanley cup final. on june 15, 2015, chicago won the stanley cup in game 6 by a 2–0 scoreline. this marked the blackhawks' third stanley cup victory in six seasons. this was the first blackhawks stanley cup clinched on home ice in 77 years, having won the decisive games in 2010 and 2013 titles on the road, and the first time a stanley cup title has been won in chicago since 1992 when the pittsburgh penguins defeated the blackhawks at chicago stadium. it was also the first time any chicago sports team won a championship at home since the chicago bulls in 1997
