The Chicago Blackhawks were under siege most of the night but pushed the Tampa Bay Lightning to the shootout and ultimately fell 2–1 on Friday night, picking up their third point out of a possible four on a back-to-back weekend.
The Blackhawks opened the scoring with 2:18 left in the first period on the power play. A quick pass from Oliver Moore along the left-wing boards and a subtle touch pass by Nick Lardis sent Ryan Greene skating into the slot, where he snapped a wrister into the net...
There weren’t many who expected this game to be as close as it was, but the Chicago Blackhawks took everything the Tampa Bay Lightning could throw at them for most of the night. In the end, it took a shootout for the Lightning to pick up the two points in a chilly Chicago. Successful shootout attempts by Nikita Kucherov, who shushed the crowd after they serenaded him with boos during his attempt, Gage Goncavles, and Dominic James were the difference.
With the ‘Hawks coming off a shootout ...

I want to preface my comments about this game by reminding everyone that the Tampa Bay Lightning came into this game on a 14-game point streak (13-0-1) and owned the best point percentage in the Eastern Conference (second in the NHL behind only Colorado). And the Blackhawks were playing the second half of a back-to-back.
If you wanted to be in bed at a reasonable hour, the first period of this game would have been great. We didn’t see a fifth faceoff until 12:39 into the game. There was o...

Game Preview
Fresh off an exciting win in Carolina on Thursday night, the Blackhawks return to the United Center for a second game in as many nights against a top team from the Eastern Conference. This time, it’s the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Lightning have spent the past few months reminding everyone that writing them off too early is usually a bad idea. After a slow start and dealing with a pile of early-season injuries, Tampa Bay has surged into second place in a wildly packed Atlantic Division (.68...
The Philadelphia Flyers close out their three-game road trip out west tonight in Colorado against an Avalanche team that is the best in the league — and it’s not particularly close. Nathan MacKinnon & Co. lead the league with 191 goals scored and 114 goals allowed for a staggering +77 goal differential. Mind you, the next best goal differential is the Tampa Bay Lightning at +49, and then the Carolina Hurricanes and Dallas Stars each at +27.
So it’s safe to say that the Flyers will face a ...
Since the Lightning are in town, and considering Oliver Moore ‘s performance on Thursday night, it’s worth revisiting a trade lots of Blackhawks fans weren’t thrilled about when it happened.
On March 18, 2022, the Blackhawks traded Brandon Hagel to Tampa Bay for Taylor Raddysh, Boris Katchouk and two first-round picks (2023, 2024). It was the first trade consummated by Kyle Davidson as the permanent general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks.

On January 18th in 2023, a fart sound was heard on Sportsnet during the Tampa Bay Lightning and Vancouver Canucks broadcast. Without skipping a beat, Canucks play-by-play legend John Shorthouse quipped to his partner John Garrett "Was that you?". Cheech denied it and Fartgate was born.

The Tampa Bay Lightning made a rare appearance at Benchmark International Arena on Tuesday night and treated their home fans to a 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks. In just their second home game of the month, the Lightning scored twice within 1:28 in the second period to turn a 1-1 game into a 3-1 lead. They never looked back, or really let the Sharks into the game, as they cruised to their second win a row and 14th straight game with a point.

It may not have been their prettiest win of the season, but it was, at least in the words of their head coach, “it was a pretty damn good effort”, as the Tampa Bay Lightning picked up their fourth win on their five-game road trip, defeating the Dallas Stars, 4-1. Andrei Vasilevskiy earned first star of the game honors with a 19-save effort, highlighted by stoning Jason Robertson on a breakaway in the waning seconds of the first period with the score tied at one.

The Nashville Predators have turned things around after another horrible start to the season; they're only one point out of a Wild Card spot heading into Saturday's play. But GM Barry Trotz is aware that his team isn't quite a serious contender, and is still considering his options. One of his biggest trade chips, under the right circumstances, is Steven Stamkos. Like the team itself, Stamkos has had a huge resurgence over the past couple of months. 17 goals and 28 points in his l...

If nothing else, tonight’s loss by the Tampa Bay Lightning is a perfect example of why it’s so hard to string long winning streaks together in the NHL. Despite statistically dominating the St. Louis Blues for most of the night, the Lightning saw their eleven-game winning streak come to a halt as they fell in a shootout, 3-2.
It’s not often a team puts up a heat map like that and ends up on the losing side. Yet, that’s what happened as the Lightning ran into a hot goaltender in Joel H...
The Tampa Bay Lightning may not have had the best start to the season, but they have proven themselves to be a powerhouse just past the halfway point in the season. As a top team in the Eastern Conference, they are going to be making additions and could go after someone they traded for at the trade deadline a number of years ago. Chris Johnston said, "Would it at all be surprising...just knowing the way the Lightning operate, if they circle back on a guy like Blake Coleman?" Unless the Calgary...
