Round 2

Luongo showed his worth in the opening series against the Blues, posting eye- popping numbers on his way to a 4-0 record. Luongo stopped 126-of-131 shots he faced in the series for a .962 save percentage and also recorded a stingy 1.16 goals against average.

The Canucks and Blackhawks met four times during the regular season and split the series with two wins apiece. However, Vancouver won the final two matchups and outscored the 'Hawks by an 11-3 margin in those contests.

Chicago had a problem slowing down the Sedin twins over the course of the season series, as the duo led all scorers on either team with six points each in the four games. Khabibulin also struggled with an 0-2 record and lofty 4.84 GAA against Vancouver this year.

The Blackhawks and Canucks have met just twice in the postseason and each club has won a round. They last met in 1995, when Chicago swept Vancouver in four games during the conference semifinals.

Neither the Blackhawks nor the Canucks have made it to the conference finals since the mid-1990s, but that will change for one club with the outcome of this series. Chicago made it to the West finals in 1995, where it lost to Detroit in five games. The Canucks were last participants in the conference finals in 1994, when they made it to the franchise's second Stanley Cup Finals before falling in seven games to the New York Rangers.

Vancouver, which will host Game 2 on Saturday, was 24-12-5 as the host during the regular season. The Blackhawks posted a 22-15-4 mark as the road team.
