Tampa Bay Lightning at Chicago Blackhawks
Jan 25, 2025, 1:00 AM · National Hockey LeagueKucherov scores in OT to give Lightning 4-3 win over Blackhawks
Jake Guentzel had a goal and an assist, Nick Paul and Mitchell Chaffee also scored and Victor Hedman had two assists to help the Lightning end a two-game skid. Jonas Johansson had 11 saves.
Louis Crevier and Frank Nazar each had a goal and an assist, and Colton Dach also scored for Chicago, which has a season-high four-game point streak (1-0-3). Arvid Soderblom finished with 36 saves.
In the extra period, Kucherov beat Soderblom cleanly with a hard wrist shot from the right circle.
Crevier's goal 4:59 into the second period gave Chicago a 3-1 lead.
Paul pulled the Lightning within one with 8 seconds left in the middle period, and Guentzel deflected Kucherov's pass from the right corner to tie the score with 3.3 seconds left in regulation.
During the game, the Blackhawks sent forward Taylor Hall to Carolina in a three-way deal.
Blackhawks: Hall’s departure accelerates Chicago’s youth movement. Nazar, Dach — who got his first career goal — and Crevier all have no more than a half-season of NHL experience.
TB leads series 1-0
