Blackhawks 6, Predators 3: Last night's game at the United Center was shaping up to be yet another disappointment against Nashville. But Troy Brouwer scored two goals forty seconds apart in the third period, which seemed to spark the team.

Bryan Bickell scored nearly five minutes later, then Jonathan Toews added the exclamation point, scoring at the 16:05 point in the final period, to seal a lightning quick come from behind win. Dave Bolland also notched two goals for the Hawks, while Marty Turco was solid in goal for the win. The victory also allowed the Hawks to keep pace in a tight Western Conference race. With 54 points, Joel Quenneville's crew is tied with Anaheim and Nashville for sixth place in the Western Conference, with Colorado only two points behind for the final playoff spot.
