Chants of “Lehner, Lehner, Lehner, you suck, all your fault” rang down from the rafters in Bridgestone Arena as the Blackhawks took on the Predators on Tuesday night. But the 3-0 loss was far from Robin Lehner’s fault, as the Blackhawks were badly outpossessed and outplayed from the get go and the goaltender was the only one keeping Chicago in the game.
It was far worse for Chicago than the score indicated. Lehner made 48 saves on 51 shots, and was a huge part of why the penalty kill was a perfect 5-for-5.
