The Chicago Blackhawks gave Tampa Bay too many chances in the third to lose the game 3-2.
The Chicago Blackhawks lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning due to their lazy play on the powerplay, leading to a short-handed goal against. They had all the momentum in the third period, only to lose control at the start of the third. They had great “killer instinct” vs Detroit, but the Lightning bullied them in the third.
Kevin Lankinen stopped a ton of grade-A scoring chances against, but the team couldn’t keep up with the Lightning’s third-period onslaught.
