The Chicago Blackhawks lose the game 5-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the season opener.
So… To no one’s surprise, the Chicago Blackhawks were utterly dominated by the Tampa Bay Lightning in every aspect of the game. Malcolm Subban was horrible early in the game, letting in two bad goals due to his lack of rebound control, positioning, and awareness (which was magnified when he let in an own goal moving side to side).
He did better later in the game, including the desperation save with the edge of the paddle of his stick that is a candidate for Save of the Year to make up for it.
