UNDATED: the second.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Paul Kariya scored in the second round
of a shootout, and the Predators finally clinched their second
straight playoff berth.

The Predators had lost six of their last eight before their
matchup with Chicago. It looked like they would have to hope
Calgary beat Vancouver later Saturday to cinch that berth as
Blackhawks goaltender Craig Anderson protected a 1-0 lead for the
first 56 minutes.

But Mark Eaton finally tied it with 3:58 left in regulation with
a one-timer near the blue line through traffic that went beat
Anderson over his glove.<

James Wisniewski scored his second goal this season at 2:20 of
the first period to give the Blackhawks a 1-0 lead.
