More NHL: | | | | | First star game of the dayGame 6 (3-2 DET), Chicago at Detroit, 8 p.m. ET (NBCSN) It's just Game 6 of their series, but Monday night in Detroit might have the look and feel of a Game 7 for both teams.For Chicago, it's kind of obvious: win or go home. They faced that scenario once already and came out with a tremendous effort in Game 5 in Chicago on Saturday Ben Storm Jersey night to win 4-1. This time, they will have to bring that act with them on the road and pull it off again in a building where they just haven't looked all that great so far.For Detroit, it's a matter of closing the out now because this is their best shot. Even though the Wings already won a Game 7 on the road in Anaheim, they do not want to have to go back to Chicago for a true Game 7. If it gets to that point, you can't really like Detroit's odds much. So, the time is now for the Wings."We'd like to take care of busine s," Wings forward said. "We've just got to play desperate."That's definitely something they didn't do in Game 5. The Blackhawks outshot Detroit every period, finishing with a final SOG total of 45 to Detroit's 26. Only one team looks like it was playing a desperate game with shot figures like that, and it wasn't Detroit. That Game 5 illustrates what could be waiting for a Game 7 in Chicago should Detroit let it get that far."The pre sure is on them to eliminate us," Blackhawks forward said. "They kind of have our backs against the wall, and we're pushing back, and that makes us a dangerous team." That's not to say the Blackhawks aren't facing any pre sure, though. The curse that came with the ble sing of that tremendous start to the regular season for the Blackhawks -- an NHL-record 24 straight games with a point beginning the season -- was that it increased already high expectations. The start made it so that anything short of a Stanley Cup Final appearance was going to feel like a letdown, and really then the only way to truly make the season feel like a succe s is by winning the Cup.While I don't believe the players are consciously thinking of that, they know they're a team capable of winning the Cup. That kind of pre sure can weigh on a team in tight moments, too. Trying to fulfill those expectations and achieve their goal won't be that far out of mind for some of them, especially if things aren't going their way.In Game 6, the stakes won't really be as high as a true winner-take-all Game 7, but it's going to feel pretty close to it for both teams. Snap shots forward is feeling better, but he's still not ready to return from his concu sion for Game 7 against on Tuesday night. ( ) Just in case you thought as much, is not an overnight sensation. ( ) For the , it's all about depth. Their ability to run four lines has been a big part of their succe s to this point. ( ) The will take Seth Jones No. 1 overall in the draft, right? Adrian Dater isn't so sure after watching Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin in the Memorial Cup. ( ) No surprise that Don Cherry isn't behind Hockey Canada's ban on checking at the pee-wee level, telling Hockey Canada "You'll be sorry." ( ) Owen Nolan Jersey
