The Blackhawks wouldn't be the Blackhawks without a budding goaltending controversy. Coach Joel Quenneville tried to downplay starting Ray Emery last night instead of the struggling Corey Crawford, but Emery was stalwart in goal, stopping 31 of 33 shots. He also caught a few breaks during a 5-on-3 power play as the Islanders couldn't find the net. Patrick Sharp scored twice for the Hawks, including the game winner 1:34 in overtime.
