“So, somebody’s streak is going on”.

Tonight’s community hero’s life mission is to serve others and she keeps pursuing it to this day. Sekac, 23, was acquired earlier Thursday in a trade with Anaheim for veteran F Ryan Garbett, 30…. This is despite putting up a completely sound performance with a taxed team in front of him: 32 shots against, 31 saves, a. 969 save percentage with the lone goal coming after regulation had expired.
Of course, the game was what the fans expected as both teams had their chances.
The league hasn’t seen a game like this in six years and judging by those dates, may not again soon. The win streak came to an end at the hands of the similarly red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning, 2-1 at Amalie Arena. They woke up the morning before that game in sixth place in the Atlantic and two points out of a playoff spot. That would be the first of two assists for Hedman on the night.
Stamkos leads Tampa Bay with 20 goals but has taken a back seat of late to young Russians Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov.
If the story from the crease holds steady, this could be another game that ends 1-0 in overtime or in the shootout.
It’s the first game of a back-to-back for Chicago, who visit Florida Panthers on Friday. “They are a really good team”.
The Lightning absolutely deserved the 2-1 victory.
“They’re probably the best team in the National Hockey League right now”, Palat said. Corey Crawford, who was a major factor in the Stanley Cup Final last season, has won a career-best nine games in a row for the Blackhawks and surrendered just 12 goals in his last eight. He is on pace to make 72 starts in 2015-16, which would shatter his previous career high of 59.
“But the storyline is going to read, the Stanley Cup Finals a year later”.
The streak is dead, but it was impressive while it lasted.
The loss snaps the Blackhawks’ franchise-record winning streak at 12 games, and it comes in a game where they were outshot by a wide margin. Unfortunately for Chicago, it can no longer say it is undefeated in 2016. Chicago really loves watching the Blackhawks at the United Center, but despite all of this, they are not the only tenant of the Madhouse on Madison.

This is the first time the #Blackhawks have trailed in game in 2016. We made some penalties we could have avoided that gave them even more momentum.
