Blackhawks hoping home ice provides advantage

CHICAGO -- United Center is starting to feel comfortable to the St. Louis Blues, but the Chicago Blackhawks aim to change that in Game 6 of the Western Conference First Round on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, TVA Sports 2).

If Chicago can't, the Blues will eliminate the defending champions from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Blackhawks trail 3-2 in the best-of-7 series after winning Game 5 4-3 in double overtime at Scottrade Center on Thursday, and must win on home ice to stay alive.

It won't be easy. St. Louis won twice at United Center in the regular season and won Games 3 and 4 of this series here.
