The Blackhawks were routed by the Red Wings 6-1 on Sunday in their third preseason game. Here are 10 observations from the loss.
Connor Bedard made his second preseason appearance. He was held off the scoresheet, but he did flash again and gave us this highlight:Feeling out of the loop? We'll catch you up on the Chicago news you need to know. Sign up for the weeklyJaxson Stauber had a tough night, although he was very busy in his first half of action. He gave up five goals on 23 shots for a save percentage of .783.
Alex Vlasic was ejected from the game in the third period for kneeing Elmer Söderblom — the younger brother of Blackhawks goaltender Arvid Söderblom. I didn't think it was malicious and warranted a game misconduct, but I don't mind the call just to send an early message to players around the NHL going into the regular season that anything close will be called.
There weren't a ton of positives from the first half, but I'll highlight one from the second half: Louis Crevier scored his first goal of the preseason with a wicked shot from 35-feet out. He scored one similar during the prospect showcase in Minnesota. The 6-foot-8 defenseman's got an underrated shot.
Lukas Reichel had a strong early shift in the first period and overall looked good again. He was also much better in the faceoff circle, winning 9 of 16 draws for a percentage of 56.3 after losing 6 of 7 on Thursday.Wyatt Kaiser is becoming a gadget-type defenseman. He can play on the power play, the penalty kill, and in this game, the Blackhawks put him on his off side so Ethan Del Mastro can play on his left. Kaiser didn't look out of place.
