Bedard, Celebrini, Hutson & GOTY Candidate | NHL Week 17 Best Goals Before the Break

The final stretch before the NHL’s Olympic break delivered one of the most loaded and creative goal compilations of the season — led by the league’s rising stars and a goal-of-the-year contender. Connor Bedard showed off his elite shot and poise, Macklin Celebrini continued to build his highlight reel with a lightning-quick release, and Montreal rookie defenseman Lane Hutson made multiple appearances with his mobility, vision, and smooth finishing ability. Mikko Rantanen added a stunning individual effort that belongs in any goal-of-the-year conversation. The extended Week 17 compilation also features beautiful passing sequences, throwback moments, historic milestones, and overtime drama from across the league — including vintage jerseys, clutch finishes, and jaw-dropping skill as the NHL heads into its Olympic break. These are the goals that closed the schedule — and pointed toward the future. #NHL #Hockey #BestGoals #NHLHighlights
