Blackhawks blow a 5-2 lead and lose in overtime to St. Louis, no rape charges against Kane

Vladamir Tarasenko  scored the winning goal in overtime as the Blues scored four unanswered goals to shock the Blackhawks, 6-5, at the United Center. The Blues trailed 5-2 after the first period, but reeled off four goals including Tarasenko's winner to stun Chicago. Alexander Steen scored twice as the Blues tied the game with three goals in the second. Brian Elliott allowed four goals on 15 shots before being replaced by Jake Allen, who stopped 27 of 28 shots sent his way. Andrew Shaw, Teuvo Teravainen , Brent Seabrook and Patrick Kane each had a goal and assist for the Blackhawks, all in the first period.

The Blackhawks will be in New Jersey on Thursday night.

Prosecutors announced Thursday that they will
not bring rape charges against Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick
Kane, citing a lack of credible evidence in a case ''rife with
reasonable doubt'' and the accuser's decision to no longer
cooperate in the investigation.

Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita said a three-month
investigation found that physical and forensic evidence ''tend to
contradict'' the accuser's claim that she was raped last Aug. 2 at
Kane's offseason home outside Buffalo.

''The DNA results lend no corroboration whatsoever to the
complainant's claim,'' said Sedita, who decided against presenting
the case to a grand jury for possible charges. Sedita said the
accuser, who is in her 20s, had recently signed an affidavit saying
she did not want to press charges.

''The totality of the credible evidence - the proof - does not
sufficiently substantiate the complainant's allegation that she was
raped by Patrick Kane,'' Sedita said, ''and this so-called `case'
is rife with reasonable doubt.''

Kane's attorney, Paul Cambria, said he was not surprised.

''I agree that the case is rife with doubt,'' Cambria told The
Associated Press.

A person who answered the accuser's mother's cellphone hung up
Thursday when contacted by The Associated Press. The accuser's
lawyer, Roland Cercone, did not immediately return a message left
seeking comment.

The decision ends a high-profile investigation that led to Kane's
removal from the cover of a popular NHL video game, and chants of
''She said no!'' and ''No means no!'' during a couple of early road
games for the Blackhawks. He is one of the NHL's top, young stars
and has won three Stanley Cup championships in Chicago over the
past six years, including last season.

Kane had said he did nothing wrong and expected to be absolved.
