Lightning Made A Great Call Signing Former Blackhawks Forward
The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Chicago Blackhawks by a 4-1 final score on Thursday night.
Ilya Mikheyev was a big reason for the Lightning's win, as he scored two goals against his former team.
Following this strong game, Mikheyev now has four goals, six points, and a plus-2 rating in 15 games this season with the Bolts. With numbers like these, he is proving to the Lightning that they made the right call by adding him this off-season.
The Lightning signed Mikheyev to a four-year, $15.4 million contract back in July. The decision was not too difficult to understand, as the Lightning needed more secondary scoring. So far, Mikheyev is providing just that for them.
