The Blackhawks and Ducks square off on Tuesday night in the first of two meetings in just over two weeks to wrap their season series. Chicago kicks off a three-game West Coast trip in Anaheim on March 23.
For the first 30 or so minutes of Sunday's game, the Blackhawks looked like they might be able to pull out an upset win over one of the best in the East.
They controlled much of the offense in the first period against the Tampa Bay Lightning, robbed on multiple occasions by the stellar netminding of Andrei Vasilevskiy to only be up 1-0 after 20 minutes in what could've been a two- or three-goal lead.
Even when Tampa got on the board off a broken play in the slot in the second, Patrick Kane answered just five minutes later to put Chicago back in front.
The Blackhawks started strong in their first meeting of the season against the defending-champion Lightning, but the visitors struck in two flurries of tallies -- twice in 90 seconds and thrice in 32 seconds -- as Chicago fell at home, 6-3.
Dylan Strome, Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat all pushed their point streaks to three straight with a goal and an assist each on the evening. Marc-Andre Fleury made 26 saves in the loss.

Alex DeBrincat scored his 150th career goal and Dylan Strome found a pair of goals in the defeat. Kevin Lankinen made 23 stops in goal.

The Blackhawks open a two-game weekend set against Eastern Conference foes on Saturday afternoon with the first meeting of the season agaisnt the Philadelphia Flyers. Chicago returns home on Sunday to host the Tampa Bay Lightning at the United Center.
Niklas Hjalmarsson, who used to intercept shots for a living, had only to block out his emotions Thursday night. He aced that too. Before a highly affectionate crowd at the United Center, the beloved former Blackhawks' defenseman sprinkled his brief Legacy Night remarks with humor, gratitude and sincerity. An emotional sort, The Hammer didn't require any tissues or his customary accoutrement before leaving any rink, an ice pack.
"When I got traded, I never got to say goodbye," Hjlamarsson said before stepping on the red carpet. "This was the proper way to do it. I'm not sure I deserve this, but I am thankful. So spoiled."
The Blackhawks rode a full-strength lineup and the crowd energy from a celebratory night to victory on Thursday night at the United Center.
Sam Lafferty, Patrick Kane and Dominik Kubalik all scored as Chicago led the Oilers on three different occasions before Alex DeBrincat found the overtime game-winner with a man advantage, his 30th of the season and 50th career power-play tally.
Sixty minutes were not enough to decide the season series between the Blackhawks and the Oilers, with Chicago taking an overtime win on Thursday night at the United Center, their second of the season over Edmonton.
Sam Lafferty, Patrick Kane and Dominik Kubalik all scored in regulation before Alex DeBrincat played overtime hero. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 28 shots in his 17th win of the season.
Jonathan Toews (concussion protocol), Tyler Johnson (neck), Riley Stillman (left shoulder) and Calvin de Haan (groin) all made their returns to the lineup on Thursday night as well.
