Command Analysis
Chicago had recently played six home games in a row. They managed to record only two victories, over New Jersey (8:5) and Edmonton (4:3 OT). Forward Kane had a great game against the Devils - he netted a hat-trick and gave an assist. The Blackhawks also were close to beating Dallas, but lost in a penalty shootout (0:1 SO). After that, the Hawks traveled to Philadelphia, where they suffered a defeat with a score of 3:4.
Tampa lost their five-game winning streak when they got crushed by Pittsburgh at home (1:5). The Lightning showed terrible defensive play and goalie Vasilevsky couldn't cope with the pressure, having saved only 89% of shots on his goal. The Lightning got redemption in the following game against Detroit (3:1), and goalie Elliot had a much better performance than his teammate.
