The Predators looked to get the series advantage in Chicago this afternoon, and they had to do it without Captain Weber and Mr. Underwood in the lineup.
After what looked like some early jitters by the Predators, the Blackhawks got on the board first as Andrew Desjardins netted his first goal as a Blackhawk since coming over from the Sharks. Josi blocked the initial shot, but it came back to Desjardins and beat Rinne's five-hole. But the Preds would answer only 31 seconds later, as Mike Ribeiro ripped one glove side by Scott Darling.
