The NHL season is heating up as we approach the holiday freeze, and December 11, 2025, has delivered plenty of headlines. From a young superstar climbing the goal-scoring ranks to a franchise defenseman hitting a major milestone, here is your daily breakdown of the most critical NHL News.
Bedard and Dunn Steal the Spotlight
Connor Bedard continues to silence any sophomore slump critics. In a dominant 3-0 shutout win over the New York Rangers last night, Bedard notched his 19th goal of the season, tying him for third in the Rocket Richard Trophy race. His multi-point performance backed a stellar 21-save shutout by Spencer Knight, signaling that the Blackhawks are fighting hard for that Wild Card spot.
Meanwhile, in Seattle, Vince Dunn played the hero. Dunn not only scored the overtime winner to sink the Los Angeles Kings 3-2, but he also recorded his 200th career point with the Kraken. Dunn assisted on Matty Beniers’ game-tying goal with just seconds left in regulation before sealing the deal in the extra frame.
Injury Updates: Hedman and Hellebuyck
It’s not all good news today. The Tampa Bay Lightning have placed captain Victor Hedman on Injured Reserve, a massive blow to their blue line. On a brighter note, Winnipeg Jets netminder Connor Hellebuyck was spotted back on the ice today for the first time since his knee surgery, sparking hope for a return sooner than the original 4-6 week timeline.
