Nasvhille sweeps Chicago; Pittsburgh eliminates Columbus
In the Stanley Cup playoffs, being the #1 seed in your conference doesn't guarantee that a team will go far. That fact was proven true as Roman Josi scored twice and goaltender Pekka Rinne made 30 saves to help the Nashville Predators, the last wild card in the Western Conference, defeat the Chicago Blackhawks, 4-1, to complete a stunning sweep in the conference quarterfinials.
Nashville will hit the road in the West semifinals to face either St. Louis or Minnesota. Currently, the Blues hold a 3-1 lead in their series with the Wild.
Sidney Crosby and Scott Wilson scored 51 seconds apart from each other to help the Pittsburgh Penguins eliminate the Columbus Blue Jackets in five games with a 5-2 victory in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
Pittsburgh now awaits the winner of the Washington/Toronto series in the conference semifinals. At present time, the Capitals and Maple Leafs are tied at two in their quarterfinal series.
