CHICAGO — Goalten-
der Ben Bishop participat-
ed in Tampa Bay’s morning
skate, and was missing when
the Lightning warmed up for
Game 4. The Chicago Black-
hawks hid their completely
different lines until the game
started.
The race is on between
coaches Jon Cooper of the
Lightning and Joel Quenne-
ville of the Blackhawks for
every little inch in one of the
tightest Stanley Cup Finals in
decades.
“Whether it’s the element
of surprise, I mean, we expect-
ed the other goalie in the net
tonight, too,” Quenneville said
with a grin. “So I guess it’s 50-
50.”
The Blackhawks used 24
saves from Corey Crawford
to edge the Lightning 2-1 for
a series-tying victory in Game
4 on Wednesday night. Jona-
than Toews and Brandon Saad
scored, and Chicago survived

“We could have won every
game so far, and that’s what
you want to give yourself the
chance to do,” Lightning de-
fenseman Anton Stralman
said. “You don’t want to come
back into the dressing room
and say ‘Man, we let this one
slip.’ We don’t have that feel-
ing right now. We played some
good hockey. Sometimes you
play well and you don’t get the
results you want.”
Alex Killorn scored for
Tampa Bay in Game 4, and An-
drei Vasilevskiy made 17 saves
while subbing for the banged-
up Bishop. Captain Steven
Stamkos had an assist for his

Tampa Bay said Bishop is
day to day with an undisclosed
injury. He appeared to be deal-
ing with some sort of groin or
leg problem while making 36
saves in a gutsy performance
in Tampa Bay’s 3-2 victory on
Monday night. Game 5 is Sat-
urday in Florida and Game 6 is
in Chicago on Monday.
“Bish is going to play
again in this series, there’s no
question,” Cooper said. “I just
don’t know which game.”
