After an 0-3 start to their 2020-21 season, in which the Chicago Blackhawks allowed five goals against per game, it was only a matter of time until we witnessed Kevin Lankinen‘s first NHL start. And it came as the Blackhawks looked to close out their trip to Florida better than it began.
It would be difficult for this injury-plagued roster to look much worse than they had throughout their opening series against the Tampa Bay Lightning and first of two versus the Florida Panthers.
