TAMPA. Fla. -- Here's a quick look at the Chicago Blackhawks' 4-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night at the Amalie Arena:

How it happened: A night after Corey Crawford blanked the Florida Panthers, the Lightning flipped the script on the Blackhawks, albeit with Scott Darling tending the net for Chicago. Lightning center Brian Boyle broke a scoreless tie in the second period with a goal at the 8:27 mark. Steven Stamkos then scored his 33rd goal of the season with a little over two minutes left in the frame. The Lightning added two more in the third period.

What it means: Playing in front of a crowd bathed in red and black, it's clear the Blackhawks would have their share of fans on hand if they were to meet the Lightning for the Stanley Cup -- although it's fairly certain not as many locals would surrender their tickets during an NHL finals. The Blackhawks were unable to sweep the season series against Florida's two hockey squads.

Player of the game: More like the general manager of the game, as Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman pulled off a trade for veteran defenseman Kimmo Timonen while Chicago was playing in Tampa.

Stat of the game: The Blackhawks suffered their sixth shutout of the season.

What's next: After playing three games in four days, the Blackhawks get some rest before hosting three straight at the United Center, beginning Monday versus the Carolina Hurricanes.
