KEY GAME INFORMATION
CHICAGO: LAST SEASON: 46-21-15, 107 points. Finished third in Central Division, lost to Los Angeles Kings in Western Conference final.
COACH: Joel Quenneville, 7th season with the Blackhawks, 268-127-59; 18th in the NHL, 706-410-77-100.
ADDED: C Brad Richards, G Michael Leighton.
LOST: LW Brandon Bollig, D Sheldon Brookbank.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Brandon Saad. The talented winger was terrific in the final part of the playoff series against the Kings, collecting three goals and four assists in the last four games. Playing on a line with Patrick Kane and newcomer Brad Richards, he could do even better than his career highs of 19 goals and 28 assists from last season.
OUTLOOK: It's Stanley Cup or bust for the loaded Blackhawks, who have no glaring weaknesses. They should be among the league's highest-scoring teams again this season, and Norris Trophy winner Duncan Keith leads a solid group of defensemen. The Central could be hockey's toughest division, but the Blackhawks are a legitimate threat for their third NHL title in the last six seasons.
TAMPA BAY: LAST SEASON: 46-27-9, 101 points. Swept in first round of playoffs by Montreal.
COACH: Jon Cooper, second full season with Lighting, 51-35-12.
ADDED: F Brian Boyle, F Brenden Morrow, D Anton Stralman, D Jason Garrison, G Evgeni Nabokov, F Jonathan Drouin.
LOST: G Anders Lindback, F Ryan Malone, F Teddy Purcell, F Nate Thompson, D Sami Salo.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Ondrej Palat. One of the NHL's top rookies last season. With Steven Stamkos missing a significant portion of the year and Martin St. Louis departing in a late-season trade, Palat finished with team-leading 50 points, including 23 goals. Third among league rookies in goals and second in points, he led all rookies with 44 points after Jan. 1.
OUTLOOK: With Bishop healthy again after missing the playoffs with a dislocated elbow, many expect the Lightning to prosper in the relatively weak Eastern Conference and make a deep run in the playoffs. Stamkos has scored more goals (210) than any player in the league since the start of the 2009-10 season and Bishop is coming off a season in which he set franchise season records for wins (37), save percentage (.924) and goals-against average (2.23).

*Blackhawks-Lightning Preview* ==============================

By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer

Chicago (36-20-5) at Tampa Bay (37-19-6), 7:30 p.m. EDT

So far, so good without Patrick Kane.

After winning their first game without their top scorer, the Chicago Blackhawks look to sweep this brief trip through the Sunshine State by beating the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night.

Chicago (37-20-5) lost Kane for possibly the season to a broken collarbone suffered during Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over Florida. The Blackhawks did just fine without him Thursday, sweeping the home-and-home set with a 3-0 road win.

"Everyone needs to step up a little bit," said rookie left wing Teuvo Teravainen, who was recalled from Rockford of the AHL to replace Kane. "I don't think too much (about replacing Kane). I just try to be myself. I'm living my dream right now."

Teravainen, the 18th overall pick in 2012, scored on his first shift Thursday after he had two goals in 15 games during his previous stint with Chicago this season.

The Blackhawks are now in position for their first three-game winning streak since taking a season-high eight straight from Nov. 26-Dec. 11.

Captain Jonathan Toews will take on an even greater offensive role with Kane out and he appears to be equal to the task. Toews has a goal in three straight games, collecting eight points in nine contests. The All-Star center has six goals and five assists in nine career meetings with Tampa Bay (37-19-6), but was held without a point in a 3-2 shootout win at home Nov. 11.

Corey Crawford stopped 25 shots in that victory, but it's unclear if he'll be back in net after making 20 saves Thursday. The other option is Scott Darling, who beat the Panthers with 34 saves Tuesday in his first appearance since December.

Whichever goalie is in net for Chicago will be facing a Tampa Bay team that averages a league-best 3.24 goals per game. The Lightning, though, have struggled at the opposite end lately, allowing 3.09 per contest during a 5-4-2 stretch this month - nearly half a goal more than their season mark.

A leaky defense was a problem again Sunday as Tampa Bay closed a five-game trip with a 5-4 loss to Colorado.

"We have a tough month," goaltender Ben Bishop told the team's official website. "We talked about how hard February was going to be."

Having Bishop in net at home could be just what the Lightning need to conclude the month in positive fashion. He's 20-5-1 with a 2.16 goals-against average at Amalie Arena this season. He's won his last three starts - all on the road - behind a 1.67 GAA.

Steven Stamkos has nine goals and six assists in eight career games against the Blackhawks, but he's collected 12 of those points - including all of the goals - in four at home.

With 20 games left in the regular season and the Lightning sitting second in the Atlantic Division, coach Jon Cooper feels there's a simple solution to the recent struggles.

"You can't change your mindset," he said. "You can't change the way things go. You can't build these last 20 games up, and then, if you're fortunate to make the playoffs, then all of a sudden what do you have left? It's just got to be that consistent, 'Let's go out there and try to improve on our game. Let's try to master what we've been doing all year,' and we've been doing a pretty good job of that."

The Lightning had won five straight against the Blackhawks before the shootout loss in November.

The teams have combined for 26 goals in the last three meetings in Tampa Bay.
