Vasilevskiy cleared a puck from behind his net to rookie forward Gage Goncalves on the right side of the defensive zone, who vaulted a backhand pass to Hagel just before center ice.

The Blackhawks, in return for Hagel, got two first-round picks (2023 and 2024), and two players (Boris Katchouk and Taylor Raddysh). The 2023 first-round pick ended up turning into Oliver Moore.
