After a scoreless opening frame, the Blackhawks looked in firm control of the game in the second period, with goals from Ryan Carpenter and Alex DeBrincat to take a 2-0 lead just past the halfway point of the game.
A well-expected push from the Lightning to start the third saw the visitors tie things up just 2:55 into the frame, starting with a shorthanded goal off an Anthony Cirelli deflection in front and soon followed by a piece of Steven Stamkos skill off a faceoff win.
Chicago stabilized for the remainder of regulation, eventually taking a point as 60 minutes wouldn't solve the third meeting between the two teams.
"I thought we played well most of the game," said DeBrincat. "Start of the third period, we let that one up on the power play, but I thought the last 10 was pretty good."
"We played really well the first two periods. We played really solid hockey, just the way we're supposed to play and the way we can play our best," Lankinen said. "They got a deflection goal, a little bounce (on) the first one, probably gained some momentum out of that. Just a funny bounce the second one too, kind of. I think that's just hockey. Momentum swings happen. We showed some character though and played well at the end of the third. Pushed the momentum in their end and had some really good chances. Even in overtime, we had a couple good chances, but it was just not our night tonight."
