The Blackhawks fell to the New York Islanders 3-0 at UBS Arena on Sunday. Here are10observationsfrom the loss.
Arvid Soderblom was great in this game. He stopped the first 20 shots he faced, finished with 37 saves and stood on his head in the second period before the wheels fell off for the entire team. Soderblom has been a bright spot this season, but you hope his confidence doesn't take a hit as the losses stack up. He hasn't won a game since Nov. 12, almost a month ago.
The Blackhawks wanted two veterans to man the pipes this season because they probably knew their goaltenders would be under fire every night and it wouldn't exactly serve as a great developmental opportunity for their young prospects. Just 2:21 into the game, Reese Johnson challenged Casey Cizikas to a fight and he accepted. Cizikas was ejected in the previous meeting between the Blackhawks and Islanders on Nov.
