The Chicago Blackhawks finally start their season later today against one of the best teams in hockey.
The Tampa Bay Lightning and Chicago Blackhawks find themselves in the same division this season, and tonight they find themselves starting their new rivalry. Chicago will be starting their season in a new role tonight as an underdog, and it will be exciting to watch.
Based on some unlikely shuffling of money, the Tampa Bay Lightning find themselves under the cap limit for the 2020-21 season. With 16 million of cap space on LTR, the Lightning are ready to go, but it comes at a cost as Nikita Kucherov is one of the players hurt and out for the foreseeable future.
