NASHVILLE — Corey Crawford has been good at rebounding off so-so or bad outings. He wasn’t on Friday.
Patrick Sharp scored his second goal in as many postseason games but the Predators scored four unanswered goals over the second and third periods as they beat the Blackhawks, 6-2, on Friday night. The series, tied 1-1, goes back to Chicago for Game 3 at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Crawford was pulled in Game 1 after allowing three goals in the first period. Those all weren’t his fault but the switch worked, as Scott Darling came in to stop 42 shots in the Blackhawks’ come-from-behind victory.
