Joakim Kemell debuted tonight for Nashville as the Preds took on the Blackhawks in Chicago, but it wasn’t the kind of experience a rookie dreams of.
The Hawks drew first blood, as the Preds lost Frank Nazar as he came onto the ice for a shift and he finished off a neat play to score the first goal at 8:37 of the first. Before the announcer had even finished reporting the goal, Colton Sissons got it back to tie the game 1-1. Sissons almost scored again a few minutes later, but this time Petr Mrázek had the save.
