Connor Bedard scored from a seemingly impossible angle in the Blackhawks 4-1 win over the Lightning on Tuesday.

The Chicago Blackhawks had Mikko Rantanen momentarily in the blockbuster 3-team trade with the Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes, but only to retain $4.625 million on his contract. There's still a chance Chicago gets to take a real stab at him in the off-season though.

Sebastian Aho scored 59 seconds into overtime, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 on Monday night. Seth Jarvis, Jordan Staal and Jesperi Kotkaniemi also scored for Carolina in its second straight win.

The Carolina Hurricanes acquire a superstar from the Colorado Avalanche in a massive trade that will help Sebastian Aho on offense. The Chicago Blackhawks are also part of the trade, which is one of the most resounding moves of the 2024-25 NHL season.

The Canadiens not only lost their game against the Jets: they also saw Kaiden Guhle get injured during the match. And it doesn’t look good for the defenseman… That said, there were also seven other games played in the NHL last night.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Tage Thompson and JJ Peterka each had a hat trick and an assist to lead the Buffalo Sabres to a 7-2 win against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night. Thompson and Peterka became the first pair to score a hat trick in the same game for the Sabres since 2008.

The Chicago Blackhawks may have had Mikko Rantanen in their grasp for a few minutes before moving him onto the Carolina Hurricanes, but they could shoot for a longer stay this summer.
