[ASFN Admin]

Rookie Scott Darling will start in goal for the Blackhawks as they try to close out the Nashville Predators in Game 6 of their opening playoff round series on Saturday night in Chicago. Chicago will try to eliminate the Predators and advance for a second time after losing 5-2 in Nashville on Thursday night with Darling in the net. ''You look at the four games he's been in and he's been solid, and (we've) been very happy with the way he's played,'' coach Joel Quenneville said Friday. The backup to Corey Crawford during much of the regular season, the 6-foot-6 Darling has a 1.67 goals-against average in four games in his first postseason.
