Duncan Keith scored late in the 3rd period to help the Chicago Blackhawks win their Western Conference quarterfinal series, 4-2, with a 4-3 victory over the Nashville Predators. Up next for Chicago is a West semifinal matchup against either St. Louis or Minnesota. Currently, the Wild lead the series, 3-2, and will host Game 6 this Sunday afternoon at 3 pm.




Down 3-0 early in the game, Calgary rallied throughout the rest of the game and Matt Stajan broke the tie with 4:17 left in the 3rd period as the Flames defeated the Vancouver Canucks, 7-4, to win the Western Conference quarterfinal series, 4-2. Calgary will now head to southwest USA to meet the top-seed Anaheim Ducks in the West semifinals at the Honda Center.
