Blackhawks Fall To Lightning

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Ben Bishop made 28 saves for his second shutout, Steven Stamkos scored two goals, and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-0 on Friday night.

Brian Boyle and Ryan Callahan also scored for the Lightning, who returned home after a 3-2 road trip against Western Conference teams.

Stamkos has 11 goals and 17 points in nine games against Chicago.

Chicago backup goalie Scott Darling stopped 25 shots.

The Blackhawks beat Florida 3-0 Thursday in their first game since losing leading scorer Patrick Kane, placed on long-term injured reserve Wednesday with a broken left collarbone suffered in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Panthers.

Boyle opened the scoring in the second period from the slot off a nifty pass from behind the net by Jonathan Drouin.  Stamkos made it 2-0 after deflecting Jason Garrison's shot from just inside the blue line with 2:07 left in the second. He added his 34th goal on a late third-period power play.

Callahan put the Lightning ahead 3-0 by redirecting Valtteri Filppula's pass during a power play in the third period.

Tampa Bay's second-ranked home penalty-killing unit killed off three Chicago power plays during the first session. Bishop made six saves on the Blackhawks' third try late in the period.

Chicago's Duncan Keith was given four minutes for high-sticking Cedric Paquette midway through the first, but the Blackhawks' road-best penalty killers limited Tampa Bay to two shots.

The Blackhawks got a break when Nikita Kucherov beat Darling just seconds after the first period ended.
