The Chicago Blackhawks were defeated by the Tampa Bay Lightning Thursday night, and Ilya Mikheyev had a lot to do with it.
The Chicago Blackhawks suffered a 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night. Former Blackhawks forward Ilya Mikheyev led the way for Tampa Bay by scoring two goals to help build a 4-0 lead. Chicago goaltender Arvid Soderblom faced 35 shots in the defeat, while Andrei Vasilevskiy made 25 saves for the Lightning.
Roman Kantserov spoiled Vasilevskiy's shutout bid late in the game, scoring his rookie-leading eighth goal of the season to extend his point streak to seven games. Writer Vinnie Parise argues that the Blackhawks struggled across all areas of the ice, noting the team continues to miss Mikheyev's depth and penalty-killing presence.
