Kevin Lankinen Backstops Hawks To Tuesday Victory
4 years agoChicago Blackhawks goaltender Kevin Lankinen stopped 33 of 35 shots against on Tuesday, leading his team to a 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers. The Hawks jumped out to a 3-0 lead just 4:22 into the middle frame, requiring Lankinen to stand tall throughout the rest of the contest en route to his 11th win of the campaign. The 25-year-old will be at the forefront of whether or not his team can sneak into the final playoff spot in the Central Division this season - looking for the rookie netminder to build off his 11-7-4 record, 2.83 goals-against average and .915 save percentage thus far. Lankinen will likely guard the cage once again in a rematch versus the Panthers on Thursday.
