Two goals in the third period gave the Chicago Blackhawks a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night at Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay.
3 things we learned in CHI’s comeback Game 1 win
Bruce Bennett/Getty ImagesAs the game progressed, the Lightning began to play with fire. Tampa Bay visited the penalty box uninterrupted three straight times, offering Chicago golden opportunities to even the game up. But the Lightning’s penalty kill held fast, and Chicago was denied an equalizer.
Bishop, in particular, played with the same poise he showed late in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Lightning netminder pushed his goal-less streak past the 100 minute mark while locking things down as the Blackhawks surged late in Game 1. Up until the final six minutes and the Lightning’s collapse, Bishop was solid in net. Crawford, for his part, kept Chicago in a game that could’ve easily been a three-goal advantage for the home team.
