CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks’ core group rose to the occasion again when needed the most at United Center on Saturday, including a solid relief appearance by goalie Corey Crawford.

They paved the way to a 4-3 comeback victory against the Nashville Predators that ended the best-of-7 Western Conference First Round series in six games, with Crawford making 13 saves after relieving Scott Darling in the first period.

Chicago advanced to the Western Conference Second Round for the third straight season and will play either the St. Louis Blues or Minnesota Wild, who lead that best-of-7 series 3-2.

CALGARY — Fittingly, the Calgary Flames pulled off another third-period comeback to extend their season and escape the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in 11 years.

The Flames erased an early three-goal deficit and defeated the Vancouver Canucks 7-4 in Game 6 of their Western Conference First Round series at Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday. They advanced to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2004 and just the second time since winning the Stanley Cup in 1989.
