Let’s take a moment to remember the top highlight from Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith’s 2018-19 season.
It was a vintage Keith play, breaking up a 1-on-1 rush from Avalanche phenom Nathan MacKinnon and then cashing in at the other end for an overtime victory. We saw that Keith in spurts last season, though not as often as we have in the past. That’s to be expected for a 35-year-old player closing in on 1,100 games next season. So what to make of this year’s 82-game grind for the veteran blue-liner?
