Former Blackhawks forward Dominik Kubalik grew up in Czechia watching VHS tapes of old Red Wings games — particularly involving legendary Czech goalie Dominik Hasek — at his grandfather’s house.

On Wednesday, he was there again, with his grandfather, when he signed a two-year contract worth $2.5 million annually with the Red Wings.
