Nashville got up off the carpet for a big 6-2 victory in Game 2. The Predators are 20-6 after allowing two goals or less in their previous game, plus 4-1 in Conference Quarterfinals games. Nashville is 14th in goals scored, ninth in goals allowed, and faces a Chicago team that doesn't know who should be in net. Chicago will be making a switch in net, replacing starter Corey Crawford with rookie Scott Darling. Crawford was yanked after surrendering three first-period goals in Game 1 and was lit up for six tallies in Game 2, including three in a span of 2:19. This is a huge price for a team going with a kid in net, and the Blackhawks are 0-5 playing on one days rest, as well as 1-4 against a team with a winning record. Play Nashville.
