Ray Emery, who replaced Corey Crawford in the second period of Thursday's win at St. Louis -- when Crawford aggravated a prior upper body injury that sidelined him for four earlier games -- was back in the starting lineup Friday. With the win, Emery is now 9-0-0 this season, which is also the longest personal career winning streak for him.

Asked after the game if he has found himself in awe of what his team has done thus far this season, Quenneville smiled and said, "Once" before adding, "We're definitely pleased. We're very happy."

NOTES: Chicago's Hossa will play in his 1,000th career game Sunday.
