Quenneville says Blackhawks' Darling was 'fine,' will mull Game 6 starter

In control, but with the wheels now spinning, the Chicago Blackhawks will weigh the pros and cons when it comes to choosing their starting goaltender for Game 6 of their first-round series with the Nashville Predators

"We'll talk about it, but (Scott Darling) did everything right," coach Joel Quenneville said of his starter to the Chicago Sun-Times’ Mark Lazerus

"He was fine."

Though he's a proven winner in the postseason, Corey Crawford has fallen well short of that colorless endorsement. He allowed nine goals on 56 shots in his brief appearances and hasn't appeared since giving up six in Chicago's Game 2 loss. 

The Blackhawks own the worst goals-against average among team's still in the postseason, but do hold a 3-2 series lead and are heading home for Game 6.
