The Tampa Bay Lightning are back on the road following their single game homestand against the San Jose Sharks.
Tonight, they'll take the ice at the United Center to face off against the Chicago Blackhawks and the temperature on the ice will likely be a bit warmer than outside the building, as it's a -3 degree day in the Windy City.
Puck drop is scheduled for the usual 7 P.M. EST and the game will be broadcast nationwide on ESPN.
Both teams have won their last two games. The Lightning though are 9-0-1 in their last ten games while the Blackhawks are 6-4-0. Chicago is also on the second half of a back-to-back, as they defeated the Carolina Hurricanes last night in a shootout. The Lightning on the other hand are kicking off a back-to-back, as they'll head to Columbus to face the Blue Jackets tomorrow night.
