The Blackhawks’ taxi squad may be a 2021 only thing, so it’s likely Chicago cannot carry three goaltenders next season and the Blackhawks will need to settle on two of the three goalies that played in 2021.
Fortunately, two of them separated themselves from the third.
Kevin Lankinen was really good to start the season, even being a member of the Calder-contending pack behind Kirill Kaprizov (who could be back off to Russia next season) at the midseason poll. But he faded off, and finished the 2021 season with the same save percentage (.909) he had in his first AHL season back in ‘19-20.
