WGN Radio’s Charlie Roumeliotis breaks down the Blackhawks’ 4-3 win over the New York Islanders to kick off a four-game road trip. Steve Konroyd joins the discussion from UBS Arena to talk about the Blackhawks barely hanging on in the third period, Arvid Soderblom’s terrific performance, Anton Frondell’s NHL debut, Nick Lardis’ three-point effort, and more.
Later, we hear from Frondell, Soderblom, Lardis, and head coach Jeff Blashill. Plus, Charlie shares his thoughts on Calder Trophy favorite and potential Norris Trophy candidate Matthew Schaefer, who logged a career-high 31:59 of ice time and registered 17 shot attempts.
Charlie wraps up the show by providing a Blackhawks prospect update on Marek Vanacker and Jack Pridham, and previewing Chicago’s next matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
