CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks are longing for the United Center after two losses in Calgary tied the Western Conference quarterfinals at 2-2.

Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said after the Flames' 6-4 victory last night that he is looking forward to regaining the home-ice advantage.

Both teams took a day off today and will go back to practice Friday. The pivotal Game 5 is Saturday night at what should be a loud and rocking United Center.

It could come down to the Hawks' speed and skill against the experience and physical play of the Flames, with home ice obviously a major factor.
