The Blackhawks are still searching for their first road victory since Oct. 20 after yet another loss to Lightning on Friday in Tampa. Chicago fell 4-2 to the Lightning, who scored four first-period goals for their seven consecutive regular-season home victory over the Blackhawks.
Chicago looks to snap its eight-game road losing streak Saturday when it plays the second half of a back-to-back against the Panthers at BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida.
Artem Anisimov and Jonathan Toews each scored for the Blackhawks against the Lightning. Toews’ 11th goal of the season helped him extend his point streak to six games.
