The Chicago Blackhawks are in Tampa Bay tonight with a matchup against the Lightning—Head Coach Jeff Blashill's old team.
For the Blackhawks (3-2-2), tonight's game is all about continuing a four game point streak, and the team finally getting their first win against the Eastern Conference. For the Lightning (1-3-2), the 2025-26 NHL Season has not started the way they would have liked.
The Lightning are on a three game losing streak and are yet to win at home. Without a doubt, the Blackhawks are facing a team desperate for a win.
