"This weekend could go a long way toward settling the Blackhawks' uncertain goaltending situation.

Cristobal Huet and Antti Niemi could play and prove themselves capable of capturing the No. 1 job as they continue to audition for coach Joel Quenneville.

Huet will start Saturday against the Flyers in Philadelphia and Niemi is likely to get the call Sunday when the Hawks play host to the Capitals. There are 16 regular-season games remaining for one of the goalies to seize control.

"They'll both get a chance to play," Quenneville told reporters Friday. "Hopefully they're both playing well and hopefully we have a tough decision to make. We feel that they're both capable of getting the ball and taking charge. Both are likely to get a chance here this weekend and we'll go off of that.

"Hopefully both guys are playing rock-solid and it will be a fun decision to make."

Full boat: It took more than three-quarters of the season, but the Hawks finally are playing with a full deck."
