The minute the world knew who the Chicago Blackhawks were facing in the First Round, a storyline immediately emerged around the goaltending match-up.
After signing Robin Lehner in the 2019 offseason, the Chicago Blackhawks seemed to be positioning themselves for greater support and success in their crease.
It was a welcomed addition for fans and the franchise, as it appeared to signal that this struggling lineup may be working to push things back towards a winning direction.
Having two top-notch goaltenders to choose from for any given night is a route that teams have become accustomed to exploring.
