Chicago leads the NHL with 57 postseason wins dating back to 2009 with two Stanley Cup titles. The Blackhawks erased a three-goal deficit en route to a 4-3 victory in double overtime on Wednesday as rookie Scott Darling stopped all 42 shots he faced. The return of All-Star forward Patrick Kane sparked Chicago's comeback. Back in the lineup for the first time since suffering a fractured collarbone on Feb. 24, Kane collected the primary assists on power-play goals. The Blackhawks are 5-0 in their last five Conference Quarterfinals games. The pressure is all on slumping Nashville now, down 0-1. The Predators missed their first division title with a late-season skid and are on an 0-5-2 slide. The Predators lost center Mike Fisher in game one, who left with a lower-body injury after playing 25 seconds of the second period. The Predators are 4-9 playing on one day of rest and 1-10 against the Western Conference. Play on Chicago.
