Chicago is on fire in the last two games.

The scoring is led by defenseman Duncan Keith with two assists and two goals and two more goals by Marian Hossa. Keith had just seven goals in 82 games in the regular season, but already has four in five games so far in the series. Goalie Corey Crawford shut the door on the Canucks to allow no goals for the game.

The Canucks are scared. They were cruising after Game 3 with a big lead and now they are second guessing themselves. Luongo in net has allowed 10 goals on 40 shots from the Blackhawks. The offense got some goals in the first three games from the Sedin twins but they have been held in check with only one assist in the last two games. Canucks F Ryan Kesler is still looking for his first goal of the playoffs after scoring 41 times during the season. Vancouver expects to start Luongo in goal in Game 6 but any sign of mental lapses will see Coach Vigneault yank him off the ice.
