* Marian Hossa scored his first goal of the 2010 postseason in overtime last game, giving the Blackhawks their second straight win and a 3-2 advantage in the series. Hossa now has 32 career playoff goals - fourth-most of any active skater since the 2001 postseason.

* Nashville failed to score a power-play goal for the sixth straight game (dating to the regular season) and is now just 1-for-53 with the man-advantage in its last 16 games overall (0-for-21 in the playoffs).
* Including 10 straight series victories, Chicago is 14-3 all-time when holding a 3-2 lead in a best-of-7. The last time Chicago lost a series when holding a 3-2 advantage was in the 1971 Stanley Cup Final vs. Montreal.
* Nashville has been down 3-2 in a best-of-7 twice all-time and dropped Game 6 both times (vs. Detroit in 2004 and 2008). With a win tonight, the Preds will make their first ever appearance in a Game 7 (on Wednesday, if necessary).
* Martin Erat scored twice in the third period on Saturday and now has four goals in this series - tied with J.P. Dumont (2007) for most of any Predator player in any postseason in Nashville's franchise history.
* Patrick Kane netted a shorthanded goal and had one assist Saturday, giving him six points (3g, 3a) in the first five games of this matchup - most on the team. Dating to the regular season, Kane has scored at least one point in nine of his last 10 skates overall.
