The Chicago Blackhawks wrapped up their season with a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory against the Ottawa Senators, thanks to Frank Nazar's game-winning goal just 48 seconds into the extra period. This marked a disappointing fifth consecutive year out of the playoffs for the Blackhawks, finishing with a record of 25-46-11. Meanwhile, the Senators, who have already secured a playoff spot, opted to rest key players such as Claude Giroux and Brady Tkachuk.

Connor Bedard had a standout game, scoring twice, including a power-play goal that temporarily gave Chicago a 3-2 lead. The Senators fought back with a power-play goal from Drake Batherson, leveling the game again at 3-3 before Nazar sealed the win. Notably, Thomas Chabot set a career-high with his 53rd assist of the season in this match. The Senators' power play performed admirably, scoring twice on three opportunities, even with a lineup missing several starters.
