How to Watch Lightning at Blackhawks: Stream NHL, TV Channel

Tampa Bay aims to end its losing skid as road trip rolls into the Windy City to face off against the slumping Blackhawks.

Chicago has lost five of their last six games and 11 of their last 14 overall as they try to endure a brutal stretch of the schedule that will see them play eight consecutive games against playoff bound teams. The Blackhawks rank in the bottom four in scoring offense and defense having allowed four or more goals nine times over the last 14 games.

Tampa Bay winger Nikita Kucherov leads the team in assists and points, ranking third in the National Hockey League in both categories. The 31-year-old Russian is on a 10-game points streak with four multi-point games in that span. Kucherov, a second-round selection by the Lightning in the 2011 NHL Draft, has four 100-point campaigns in the last six years having collected his 600^th career assist in a 5-1 win against Detroit on Saturday.

Chicago’s fifth ranked penalty killing unit, which has stopped 83.0% of chances against the man advantage, will be tested by Tampa Bay’s sixth rated power play that has converted on 26.7% of opportunities and has scored five power play goals in the last four games.

Tampa Bay has won 12 of the last 14 games in this series and has won five straight trips to Chicago with all of the victories coming by two or more goals.
