It took 29 seconds for the Tampa Bay Lightning to establish the pace of tonight’s game. In those 29 seconds, the Chicago Blackhawks looked slow, confused, and outmatched. A dominant first period was all Tampa Bay needed in a 4-2 victory over Chicago this evening. Tyler Johnson and Nikita Kucherov led the way offensive for the Lightning and Eric Cernak had his first multi-point game of his career. Louis Domingue played well in net, and the Lightning staved off a furious Chicago surge late in the third period to secure the win.
