The Hockey Hall of Fame, in a Monday afternoon announcement, welcomed forwards Henrik and Daniel Sedin, and goaltender Roberto Luongo, all former Vancouver Canucks, into its 2022 induction class.
Chicago (24-26-6) saw its season come to a close on Monday night with a 5-4 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars, finishing on the outside looking in at the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
This is where we expected them to be at the close of this season, not playing in the postseason and looking forward to next year, as they continue to go forward in their rebuilding process.
• While the expectation from the outside was that Chicago would not be playing in the postseason, the expectations inside the club still were on competing for a Stanley Cup. For the future cornerstones of the organization like Kirby Dach and Alex DeBrincat, not playing Stanley Cup Playoff hockey is unacceptable.

Chris Driedger posted a 30-save shutout and four different Florida Panthers scored as they beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-0 in the final game of the season. MacKenzie Weegar, Juho Lammikko, Carter Verhaeghe, and Alex Wennberg scored against Andre Vasilevskiy, who had 26 saves on 30 shots in the loss.
Overshadowing the loss was the NHL debut of one of the most popular players in Syracuse Crunch history, Daniel Walcott. The 27-year-old forward played 10:03, dolled out 7 hits, fired one shot on goal, and a had a fight. Yup, that sounds like a Daniel Walcott night.
