Söderblom Shines in Shootout Loss as Hawks Fall to Lightning
Arvid Söderblom turned in a 29-save performance, but the Chicago Blackhawks dropped a 2-1 shootout decision to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Chicago took an early lead on Ryan Greene’s goal, were outshot heavily but benefited from rookie contributions (Oliver Moore and Nick Lardis assisted on the opener), and former Hawk Dominic James sealed the win for Tampa Bay in the shootout as the Lightning extended its 14-game point streak. The Hawks’ penalty kill was solid in a tightly played game, but the result snapped a back-to-back set for Chicago.
