You just don\u2019t want them kind of trying to go and manufacture something out of nothing just because we can\u2019t score right now. I thought our play without the puck was excellent. We didn\u2019t really give them much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vasilevskiy stopped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/ilya-mikheyev-8481624\" title=\"Ilya Mikheyev\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ilya Mikheyev<\/a> from in close with three minutes left in overtime, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/andre-burakovsky-8477444\" title=\"Andre Burakovsky\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Andre Burakovsky<\/a> could not convert on a rebound.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/ryan-greene-8483450\" title=\"Ryan Greene\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Greene<\/a> scored, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/arvid-soderblom-8482821\" title=\"Arvid Soderblom\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arvid Soderblom<\/a> made 30 saves for the Blackhawks (21-22-8), who had won two in a row and went to a shootout for the second time in as many nights following a 4-3 win at the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s value in continuing to measure yourself against these teams,\u201d said Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill, a former assistant coach to Cooper before taking the Chicago job this season. \u201cBut I think it\u2019s interesting, I talked to a young player today, and (he) said it was the first time he ever played in Carolina. I hadn\u2019t really thought of that. That\u2019s a different experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen to see where Tampa\u2019s at, because they\u2019re similar to us structurally in a lot of ways. Obviously, systematically we have a lot of similarities. What we\u2019ll take from tonight is just a lesson on how hard you have to be on your stick, how crisp you have to be with your passes. I thought they were harder and a little more crisp, so that\u2019s the level we have to get to. That said, we were able to get a point and obviously had chances to win it in overtime, so we just have to continue to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrei Vasilevskiy made 17 saves for the Lightning (32-13-4), who won their third straight and are 14-0-1 since&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":130053,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-130052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130052"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130052\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
