The Chicago Blackhawks play host to the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final Monday.

Keep up with the latest highlights, news, notes, quotes and jokes on the social media circuit right here.

WRAP:

Lightning take a 2-1 series lead with a 3-2 win in Game 3.

THIRD PERIOD:

Cedric Paquette makes it 3-2 Tampa on a beautiful feed from Victor Hedman.

That’s a lot of regret.

A generous comparison for Tampa’s Palat.

And just like that, it’s tied. Ondrej Palat pulls Tampa even after a 13 second Blackhawks’ lead.

Saad makes it 2-1 Blackhawks.

Here’s Johnny…

SECOND PERIOD:

Freak. Mutant. He’s Duncan Keith and he’ll take the minutes.

Bishop appears to have some trouble moving side-to-side.

Another celebrity sighting at the United Center Tonight, Tonight.

Meanwhile at the other end of the ice…

Bishop has no trouble shutting down access to the five-hole.

He’s back.

Jack Eichel must have scored off the charts in the sense of humour portion of last weekend’s NHL Combine.

FIRST PERIOD:

Oh you fancy huh?

The Blackhawks controlled play for most of the first period.

Blackhawks even it up with a power play goal.

Could we see Andrei Vasilevskiy in Game 3?

Ryan Callahan makes it 1-0 Lightning with a blast.

PREGAME:

It’s time to drop the puck.

The Lightning make some last minute adjustments to the lineup.

At home or on the road, Tampa’s a hockey town.

Mystery solved.

It doesn’t matter to Teuvo…

The Tampa Bay Lightning’s goaltending situation did not become clearer ahead of Game 3.
