The Blackhawks’ 6-2 victory over the Red Wings marked their second straight victory, with four of the six goals were scored by two: rookie forwards: Pius Suter (the first three goals of his NHL career) and Philipp Kurashev (his second of the season)
In net, Kevin Lankinen made 25 saves on 27 shots for a .926 save percentage and his second straight win. It appears he’s taken over the starter net and he’s the only goaltender on the Blackhawks’ roster with a save percentage above .900 (currently at .909).
The one common factor behind all of these rookies is Chicago’s European scouting.
