0:00It's April 5th. Welcome in. This is NHL News Today, where your team meets AI. I'm Cori with the story. The Chicago Black Hawks finally broke their 5-game losing skid with a 4-2 road win over the Seattle Kraken on April 4th. Arvid Soderblom stood tall and net with 25 saves, while Rookie Sasha Boyzvert lit the lamp for his first NHL goal. The game winner no less. He was set up from Kevin Korkinsky in his 100th career game. Earlier this week, another young gun, Anton Frandel, notched his first NHL goal on April 1st. The front office kept the momentum going by signing goalie prospect, Adam Gajin, to a two-year entry-level deal that same day, bolstering their rebuild, pipeline. With the playoffs out of reach, fans are buzzing about this youth movement as the bright spot in a 28-win, 35-loss, 14-over-time-loss season. It's all eyes on development now, even as injuries pile up.
