The Chicago Blackhawks wrapped up their season with a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory against the Ottawa Senators, as Frank Nazar netted the game-winner just 48 seconds into the extra period. This win marks the Blackhawks' fifth consecutive year missing the playoffs, ending the season with a 25-46-11 record.

Despite resting key players, including Claude Giroux and Brady Tkachuk, the Senators managed to show resilience, matching the Blackhawks in a back-and-forth contest. Thomas Chabot scored on the power play to tie the game at 2-2, but Connor Bedard answered back with two goals, including a power-play strike. Ottawa's Drake Batherson scored to level the game again, but it was Nazar's moment that sealed the deal for Chicago.
