CHICAGO -- The Tampa Bay Lightning extended their point streak to 15 games in a 2-1 shootout victory against the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center on Friday. Tampa Bay’s run is its third-longest in franchise history, behind a 16-game streak in 2018-19 and an 18-game stretch in 2003-04.

It has been a bit of deja vu for Blackhawks forward Landon Slaggert. He’s creating ample scoring chances but has struggled to finish. Slaggert said he went through a scoring drought as a junior at Notre Dame (13 points in 35 games), something that has been instructive as he works to improve his finishing.

Frank Nazar is set to return to the Chicago Blackhawks lineup for a road game against the Carolina Hurricanes. He has been out since Dec. 20.

Chicago went toe-to-toe with two of the league's best teams on consecutive nights and can take a positive feeling out of the experience.
