Will tonight be the night?
The Chicago Blackhawks shoot for the third Stanley Cup victory of the Jonathan Toews - Patrick Kane era and all the dynastic conversations that would come with it if they can take Game 6.
Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Lightning hope to shake off their growing list of bumps and bruises to force a for-all-the-marbles Game 7 back home.
Tonight’s contest brings plenty of weather jokes since both markets are experiencing storms:
Storms in Chicago. Storms in Tampa. Well, well, well. ⚡️ #GoBolts

There’s also a noteworthy (and/or highly specific?) historic stat for each side:
