An 0-3-1 road trip capped off by only taking a point from the Chicago Blackhawks sans Connor Bedard and the majority of their top forwards is just embarrassing and unacceptable. There’s nothing else to really say beyond that, other than that if Lou doesn’t change something doesn’t change soon, this team is in real trouble.
Of note, roster-wise: Kyle MacLean made his NHL debut, slotting in as 4C in place of Casey Cizikas, and Mike Reilly was scratched, so Samuel Bolduc drew back in.

The Blackhawks outshot the Isles 7-0 to start the period, but Sorokin made some good saves to keep it scoreless.
