Carrie Underwood performs the national anthem before Game 3 of a first-round NHL hockey playoff series between the Predators and the Chicago Blackhawks. If there's a team that you can believe has that kind of miracle run in them, it's the Blackhawks, given their pedigree - but not only did the Predators come back from two goals down Monday night, they completely owned overtime.
Chicago, which won three Stanley Cups from 2010-15, has not lost the first two playoff games of a series at home since 1995 and had not been blanked in each of first two since 1935. Arvidsson two points (one goal, one assist) and is making life hard for Blackhawks defensemen with his speed, skill and tenacity.
The Blackhawks will push the feeling of hope and the importance of living in the present as they face a 3-0 series deficit. Skilled players such as Artemi Panarin and Patrick Kane were looking to crack heads instead of score goals, and Ryan Hartman went off in the last minutes for an ugly butt-ending of Craig Smith's head. With less than four minutes remaining in the first overtime period, Swiss rookie Kevin Fiala scored the game-winning goal. In overtime, he was the man... generating scoring chances nearly everytime he touched the puck, Crawford stoned him twice before he finally broke through with the game victor, cranking the Bridgestone Arena insanity level up to 10... So if I was wrong about Nashville, does that mean I was wrong about Chicago, the top team in the Western Conference? "We have fought back. Just worry about that first shift and go from there".
Nashville Predator Mike Fisher was the real victor of his team's big playoff game before the puck was even dropped.

After the attack, some of the injured were denied medical treatment, but were instead held in solitary confinement. He is the brother of Qassem Soleimani, the leader of the Quds Force - an elite special forces arm of the IRGC.

"The confidence is definitely there", Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford said.
The Predators tied the game late in the third period, but the Blackhawks challenged the goal on possible interference with Crawford. They're too dependent on their star players at this point for them not to be the best players on the team pretty much all the time. "They are a great team". The "Dirty Laundry" singer opened up about the prospect of having more children, saying she and her husband will leave it up to "God's good timing". "I think everyone is a little pissed off and a little angry", Crawford told reporters in Chicago after his 46-save performance. The Capitals blew leads of 2-0 and 3-1 before losing to Toronto.
