The Chicago Blackhawks lost an important game Saturday night against their Central Division rivals, the Nashville Predators. The game finished 5-2 for the Preds, and Ray Emery game into the game with about 4 minutes left in the second period in relief of Corey Crawford.

Like I mentioned before the game, we didn’t expect to see Ray Emery Saturday night, but you never know!

After Crawford let in the fourth Nashville goal of the game on their 17th shot, he got pulled and replaced with Ray Emery who stopped 5 of the 6 shots he faced, and the Hawks were unable to mount a comeback.

The Central Division is one of the best in the NHL, they have four teams with over 60 points, with the Detroit Red Wings leading the way with 67 points, followed by the Blues and Blackhawks at 64 and then the Predators at 62. That could change tonight though as the Hawks are facing off against the Nashville Predators again, this time in the Windy City. Check out the NHL.com Game Preview.

Despite Crawford’s poor play Saturday night, he will get a shot again tonight, which will be the last game for Chicago before the NHL All-Star Game.

Here are the highlights from Saturday night’s game, including only 1 of the 5 saves made by Ray Emery
