What to watch for

Ben not so Big in Tampa

Ben Bishop is having a rough time at home in Amalie Arena during the playoffs. 

It's difficult to blame him in any way for the Lightning's loss in Game 1. He went largely untested for good portions of the game until the late Chicago barrage of the third period.

But Bishop's numbers suggest he is a completely different goaltender when away from the city of Tampa. In the postseason, Bishop is 5-6 at home with a .889 save percentage. Compare that to on the road where he is 7-3 with a .947 save mark and two shutouts. Including a Game 7 shutout in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Rangers.

Chicago is 6-4 on the road during these playoffs. While it isn't an outstanding record, winning more games than losing in enemy territory during one of the most grueling postseasons in sports is quite the feat. Now that they've had a game and two off days to see and scout the Lightning, they'll be throwing a lot more pucks at Bishop's net.

Bring the noise

Don't let a 2-1 scoreline deter fans from thinking this will be a low scoring series. Between these two teams, there is enough offensive creativity to fill plenty of highlight reels. 

Of the top-20 points leaders in the postseason, 11 of them are playing in this series. Tampa center Tyler Johnson (12 goals, nine assists) leads all skaters with 21 points. Chicago's Patrick Kane is tied for second with 20. 

Chicago (3.22) and Tampa Bay (2.67) also rank three and four respectively among playoff teams in goals per game.

So don't worry fans, you will have your fill of lit lamps this Stanley Cup Final.
