After facing one of the league’s worst teams on Saturday, the Chicago Blackhawks’ degree of difficulty ramps up on Sunday with the two-time Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning traveling to 1901 W. Madison.
The Lightning have probably been waiting for the Hawks’ arrival, actually, with Tampa having Saturday off following Friday’s 3-1 win at home over the Detroit Red Wings. That game spelled out the differences in quality between Tampa and Detroit, with the Lightning owning every 5-on-5 statistical category: 48-36 in shot attempts, 26-20 in shots on goal, 11-7 in high-danger chances and roughly 59-41 in expected goal share percentage.
