"The Chicago Blackhawks have a huge couple of games starting tonight as they open up a three game series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. A couple of wins could see the Blackhawks vault into first place in the division as they trail the Lightning by only three points for first. It's a nice opportunity for revenge as the Lightning had the Hawks number to start the year but plenty has changed since then. For Game 1 of the three game series, head coach Jeremy Colliton has confirmed that Kevin Lankinen will get the start between the pipes. Dylan Strome has been skating but he's still not ready to come out of the concussion protocol. While Lucas Carlsson was activated off the IR, he's headed to Rockford first. Here's a look at tonight's full lineup:Alex DeBrincat -- Pius Suter -- Patrick Kane Mattias Janmark -- Carl Soderberg -- Philipp Kurashev Dominik Kubalik -- David Kampf -- Brandon Hagel Matthew Highmore -- Lucas Wallmark -- Ryan Carpenter Duncan Keith -- Ian Mitchell Calvin de Haan -- Adam Boqvist Nikita Zadorov -- Connor Murphy Kevin Lankinen "
