LW Brandon Saad scored the winning goal at 3:05
of overtime on Saturday night to lift the Chicago Blackhawks to
a 2-1 victory over the Nashville Predators. "It was just a great
pass," Saad said with a smile. "I hop on the ice, tic-tac-toe
play, 'Kaner' makes a great play. I'm just traveling to the net.
It's good to get the win." Duncan Keith snapped a pass to Kane,
who quickly fed the puck to Saad as he skated down the left side
of the ice. Saad buried his team-leading sixth goal to cap the
comeback.
G Corey Crawford made 37 saves in the Blackhawks' win over the
Predators on Saturday night. He has allowed one goal or fewer in
four of his five starts. Crawford credited his team's defense
with forcing Nashville to take shots from the outside. "This is
a big win against them," Crawford said. "They're always a tough
team to play against. They played hard again tonight. We were
able to stick with it and not get frustrated."
LW Patrick Sharp scored with 5:36 remaining in the third period
to erase a one-goal deficit for the Blackhawks in their Saturday
night win..
D Cody Franson returned to the ice on Saturday night after
missing the previous game as a healthy scratch.
