NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Nashville Predators picked a perfect time for their first win when facing elimination from the playoffs.
Rookie Filip Forsberg had his first career hat trick and the first in Nashville's postseason history as the Predators forced a sixth game in their first-round Western Conference series by beating the Chicago Blackhawks 5-2 Thursday night.
"Obviously, it's always special to get a hat trick, bu the most important thing is that we got the win," Forsberg said. "We had to win this game and had to take this series back a little bit ... Now we're going back into Chicago."
The Predators came in having lost the first seven elimination games in franchise history, six on their own ice. This time, they were coming off a triple-overtime loss in Chicago early Wednesday that pushed them to the brink of elimination, and these teams appeared headed for the third overtime game of this series tied at 1-1 after two.
James Neal then got the go-ahead goal in the opening minute of the third to start a flurry of three goals in a span of less than 2 1/2 minutes and the Predators pulled to 3-2 in the series with Game 6 Saturday night in Chicago.
"Our back is still up against the wall," Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. "I think we're still a team that needs to realize where we're at, our place in life right now. If we win, we can come back and play Game 7. If we don't, we start the summer. ... I don't think they're ready to go home."
Forsberg finished his hat trick with an empty-netter in the final minute. Colin Wilson also had a goal, and Neal had an assist.
Brad Richards had a goal and an assist, and Kris Versteeg also scored for Chicago. The Blackhawks missed on closing out their first postseason series since losing the Western Conference finals last year in seven games.
Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said they'll talk about their goaltending before the next game, but Darling did everything right. Quenneville said it wasn't a matter of matching Nashville's intensity.
"They scored a goal, a tough one," Quenneville said. "We've given them some funny goals this playoff series. That was one, just extend our sticks and hits up in the net."
The Predators have won the last two first-round series they've played, though they missed the postseason the past two years. That's why Laviolette was hired as coach not only to take them back to the playoffs but take Nashville on a deep run.
Facing elimination, the Predators certainly opened and finished strong. When the Blackhawks got the man advantage 3 minutes into the game, Nashville turned the final 45 seconds into its own short-handed advantage taking several shots at Darling.
That set the pace for a very frantic period as the teams played 9:25 between whistles before Richards put a wrister five-hole past goalie Pekka Rinne for a 1-0 lead at 13:27. The Predators answered back 65 seconds later as Forsberg scored his second this series with a wrister off a faceoff, and the teams went to the first intermission tied for the third straight game.
In the second, Nashville had a man advantage and couldn't convert. Wilson also missed the puck on a pass from Mike Ribeiro trying to shoot into an open net behind Darling with the goalie managing to reach back and help poke it away. The Blackhawks turned that into a 3-on-1 with Rinne knocking away Bickell's shot and then pivoting to stop a backhander from Patrick Kane on the other side.
Neal, who scored his first goal this series, put Nashville up 2-1 just 47 seconds into the third. He scored on a wraparound getting a little bit of help from Chicago defenseman Duncan Keith and his left skate in the way as Darling tried desperately to close the gap with his glove.
That goal set off a scoring flurry in a series that has been tied for more than 216 minutes. Chicago defenseman Michal Rozsival went to the box for interference, and Wilson made up for his earlier miss with a slap shot past Darling at 3:02 to make it 3-1.
Forsberg, not among the Calder Trophy finalists announced earlier in the day, got his second with his own slap shot 12 seconds later allowing Nashville fans to relax, breathe and celebrate. Forsberg sent hats flying onto the ice with his fourth goal this series with 10.3 seconds left.
"We're disappointed for Filip," Laviolette said of the Calder snub. "You get one chance at that really."
