The Florida Panthers thought they won Tuesday's clash against the Toronto Maple Leafs after Evan Rodrigues appeared to score a shootout winner, but the celebration was premature.

The would-be goal was taken off the board after video review determined Rodrigues double-tapped his attempt.

Maple Leafs forward Noah Gregor, who also scored Toronto's only regulation goal, netted his next attempt to set up a 2-1 victory. Players from both teams had to return to the bench after the dramatic twist.

"Have not seen that," Panthers head coach Paul Maurice said postgame, per Bally Sports Florida.

He added, light-heartedly: "Especially that fast. You know what I do think: It's important they have rules."

The win snapped a two-game skid for the Maple Leafs, who are now 11-6-3 on the year. Florida's loss was its third in its past four games.

The Chicago Blackhawks placed veteran Corey Perry on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract, the team announced Tuesday.

"After an internal investigation, the Chicago Blackhawks have determined that Corey Perry has engaged in conduct that is unacceptable and in violation of both the terms of his standard player's contract and the Blackhawks' internal policies intended to promote professional and safe work environments," the organization wrote in a statement, per the Chicago Sun-Times' Ben Pope.

Several hours after the club issued the statement, Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson said the incident in question was a workplace matter, not a criminal one.

He also said no other players or their families were involved, despite speculation to the contrary.

Davidson's full remarks can be viewed via CHGO Blackhawks.

The GM said Saturday that Perry would be away from the Blackhawks for the "foreseeable future," adding that the forward's absence was a team decision. Perry's agent, Pat Morris, followed up by saying his client had stepped away from the team "to attend to personal matters."

Chicago first made Perry a healthy scratch versus the Columbus Blue Jackets this past Wednesday for what head coach Luke Richardson dubbed "organizational" reasons.

Chicago signed Perry to a one-year, $4-million deal after acquiring his rights from the Tampa Bay Lightning in an offseason trade.

Rick Bowness believes the Winnipeg Jets' improved camaraderie is a big reason for their success so far in 2023-24.

The head coach returned to the team on Friday following a month-long leave of absence after his wife was hospitalized with a seizure. On Tuesday, Bowness was asked what the biggest difference is between this iteration of the club compared to last season's version.

"Our depth, for sure, our balance. I think the room is in a much better place than it was last year," Bowness said. "Go back to '22 training camp, we made moves, we opened up the room and it's starting to show itself why we did that.

"I think the room's tighter, I think the culture here is outstanding because of the players. It starts with that off the ice. That's where it all starts, you've gotta have that chemistry, you've gotta have that culture off the ice. This team is a tighter team off the ice and it's shown itself on the ice."

It was a busy offseason for the Jets. They bought out former captain Blake Wheeler, and one of Bowness' first moves in 2022-23 was to strip Wheeler of his captaincy. Adam Lowry was given the "C" entering 2023-24.

The Jets also made a blockbuster move in dealing Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Los Angeles Kings for Alex Iafallo, Rasmus Kupari, Gabriel Vilardi, and a second-round pick.

"This team, they don't care who scores, they recognize when guys are blocking shots. It's all respected in that locker room. Guys might not score, but if they save a goal, that's just as important," Bowness said. "They've learned to recognize all the hard work and things that have to be done by guys who don't score a lot."

The Jets sit third in the Central Division with a 12-6-2 start to the campaign.

We have a big night of hockey ahead of us - 20 of the league's 32 teams are set to hit the ice. Let's get to the best ways to attack the slate.

Hurricanes (-165) @ Flyers (+145)

The Flyers are very good at limiting opposing offenses - particularly when Carter Hart is between the pipes.

Hart has made 12 starts this season, though he left one appearance very early on with an injury. If you exclude that game, eight of Hart's 11 starts featured six goals or fewer. He's an under machine.

Hart owns a solid .911 save percentage and has only allowed more than three goals once all season. He gives the Flyers a chance every night.

I don't see Hart suffering through this game. Defensively, the Flyers have played exceptionally well at home this season, allowing just 25 shots per contest. That's the second-best mark in the league.

It just so happens that the Flyers are squaring off against a lethal Hurricanes defense that has done a better job than anybody at preventing shots this season.

This figures to be a tight, low-event affair where both teams are forced to grind for every offensive inch.

The Canes are a middling team in terms of finishing ability, and the Flyers lack firepower up front, so the conversion rates are unlikely to be high enough to push this game over the number.

Bet: Under 6.5 (-135)

Lightning (-120) @ Coyotes (+100)

This game has the potential to turn into a shootout. Andrei Vasilevskiy started on Monday - having just worked his way back from injury - so the Lightning will no doubt defer to Jonas Johansson in the latter half of this back-to-back set. That spells trouble for the under.

Johansson fared pretty well early in the season but came back down to earth toward the end of his run as Tampa Bay's starter. Johansson posted a save percentage that was below .900 in seven of his last nine starts, allowing three goals or more in all but one of them. The exception came against the lowly Blackhawks.

Any team with an offensive pulse has been able to score at least three goals on Johansson. The Coyotes aren't exactly Wayne Gretzky's Oilers, but they have enough high-end weapons - Clayton Keller, Logan Cooley, and Nick Schmaltz, to name a few - that they should be able to do damage in this game.

Conversely, the Lightning have played in track meets all season long and know they have to outscore their problems with Johansson between the pipes. They certainly have the ability to do just that, ranking fifth in the league with an average of 3.59 goals per game.

Nikita Kucherov is creating nearly a couple of goals per night by himself. He - and the Lightning offense as a whole - should be able to muster up plenty of chances against a leaky Coyotes defense that ranks 29th in shot suppression over the last 10 games.

Expect both teams to contribute their fair share of goals in this one.

Bet: Over 6.5 (-115)
