Yes, the Blackhawks lost again. But Roman Kantserov still looks like the real deal, and Dillon Boucher treated a lot of visiting Blackhawk's fans to a heavyweight bout.
The Chicago Blackhawks suffered their fifth consecutive defeat on Thursday night, falling 4-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tampa Bay built a commanding lead with goals from Victor Hedman, Ryan McDonagh, and two tallies from Ilya Mikheyev. Roman Kantserov scored Chicago's lone goal in the final minute to spoil Andrei Vasilevskiy's shutout attempt, extending Kantserov's point streak to seven games and his goal streak to three.
The game also featured a physical highlight in the second period when Chicago's Dillon Boucher engaged in a fight with Tampa Bay's Jeff Viel. Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill praised Boucher's physicality and Kantserov's net-front presence following the loss. The Blackhawks next conclude their road trip on Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes.
