Heading into a three-game set vs. the Lightning, the (seemingly rising) Blackhawks had something to prove . After those three games against the Lightning, the Blackhawks would probably agree they have some things to work on. Despite coughing up a 3-0 lead on Sunday, the Blackhawks can also take some positive things from this experience. That includes some standings points. On March 4, the Blackhawks fell in overtime, then they took a shootout win on March 5. This time, it ended in regulation, as Tampa Bay won 6-3. It remains to be seen if the Blackhawks will have Connor Murphy against the Stars on Tuesday, though. Murphy was ejected for an illegal hit to the head of Erik Cernak , who did not return to the game: Lightning rally from down 3-0 to beat Blackhawks From the start, the Blackhawks and Lightning played at a hectic pace. Philipp Kurashev and Mattias Janmark scored goals to put Chicago up 2-0 through the first period, then Pius Suter bumped that lead to … [Read more...] about Lightning storm back to win after Blackhawks build 3-0 lead

NHL on NBCSN: Looking at Blackhawks’ Kane at 400 goals
NBCSN’s coverage of the 2020-21 NHL season continues with Sunday’s matchup between the Chicago Blackhawks and Tampa Bay Lightning. Blackhawks-Lightning stream coverage begins at 2:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN. You can watch the game online and on the NBC Sports app by clicking here . It is safe to say that the Chicago Blackhawks are exceeding expectations so far this season. They enter Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning ( 2:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN ) in a playoff spot in the Central Division with a six-point cushion over the fifth-place team (Columbus Blue Jackets) in the division. At this point they are more likely to make the playoffs than they are to miss, which would be an incredible accomplishment given where they were when the season began. Not only are they in the middle of a rebuild with what seemed to be questionable goaltending, but injuries to some key young players ( Kirby Dach and Alex Nylander ) and a health issue for team captain Jonathan Toews took … [Read more...] about NHL on NBCSN: Looking at Blackhawks’ Kane at 400 goals

Everyone needs at least one real-life 5-year-old friend
I always walk by this particular house, but until one afternoon a couple of weeks ago, I had never seen anyone there. On that afternoon, as I was walking by, a small voice shouted, “You wanna see my millipede?” With that, he ran toward me as fast as a 5-year-old carrying a millipede on an envelope can go. Arriving at his internally programmed 6-foot radius, he carefully held the envelope forward so I could get a good look. I’m not sure why showing me this tiny treasure was a top priority, but I’m glad that it was. He assured me that the creature was not venomous and we both marveled at the multi-legged arthropod creeping along the back of an envelope. We proceeded to have the nicest chat while his mother stood watching from a few yards away. He told me his name was Evan, and I invited him to come see the river from my backyard and pick up a book from my Little Free Library in front of my home, just down the street and around the corner. He asked me my name, and we talked … [Read more...] about Everyone needs at least one real-life 5-year-old friend
