Don’t miss out on all the action as the Tampa Bay Lightning take on their opponents in the 2015 Stanley Cup Final, the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Tampa Bay Lightning tried their hardest to mount a comeback in the third period on Saturday night, but their efforts were all for naught as the New York Islanders put a quick stop to the Bolts’ progress and handed them a deflating 5-3 loss on home ice in front of their fans.

Tonight, the Lightning has an opportunity to turn it all around and get back on the right track. The Bolts will once again open up the doors to the Amalie Arena to take on a memorable foe. The Lightning will be doing battle with their opponents from the 2015 Stanley Cup Final, the Chicago Blackhawks.

This East vs. West Showdown is sure to be one heck of a showdown. These two teams find themselves in similar positions at the moment. Despite their loss to the Isles, the Lightning still managed to keep a firm grip on their spot at the top of the Atlantic Division.

On the other side of the hockey world, the Chicago Blackhawks find themselves in an intense battle with the Nashville Predators for third place in the highly-contested Western Division. Through their 2-1 victory over Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins, Blackhawks came up with a 10-8-2 record.

Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos is currently leading the way for the Lightning with 10 goals and 25 assists for a grand total of 35 points to accompany his plus-12 rating. Right on the captain’s tail is the Lightning’s leading goal-scorer, Nikita Kucherov, who has brought home 17 goals and 16 assists for a total of 33 points alongside his plus-11 rating.

On the other side of the ice, the Blackhawks are being led by forward Patrick Kane. Kane has played in all 20 games the Hawks have played this season. In this amount of time, he’s managed to score six goals and 13 assists for a grand total of 19 points.

Ironically enough, the Hawks’ leading goal-scorer is a little further down the list when it comes to overall points. The Lightning will need to keep a closer eye on forward Artem Anisimov. Anisimov has scored 10 goals and two assists for a total of 12 points. One of those aforementioned goals turned out to be the game winner on Saturday night against the Penguins.

The Lightning has a lot on the line tonight in the heart of downtown Tampa. Let’s hope the team has been able to learn from the mistakes of the past and is ready to get back on the right track. The Blackhawks are going to bring their ‘A’ game, so the Bolts must do the exact same thing.
