Hartman was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round (30th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. He made his NHL debut in 2015 for the Blackhawks. He is the first player in NHL history to be born in the state of South Carolina. On November 18, 2013, the Chicago Blackhawks signed Hartman to a three-year entry-level contract. Hartman made his NHL debut on February 13, 2015, against the New Jersey Devils. Hartman started the 2016–17 NHL season with the Blackhawks. He scored the first goal of his career against Jake Allen of the St. Louis Blues during the NHL's season opener on October 12, 2016. Hartman scored his first career hat trick against the Nashville Predators on January 8, 2017. Hartman finished the season with 19 goals and 12 assists. During the 2017–18 season, Hartman recorded eight goals and 17 assists in 57 appearances for the Blackhawks. On February 26, 2018, Hartman was traded to the Nashville Predators. He appeared in 21 regular season games for Nashville, where he tallied three goals and three assists. In the 2018–19 season, at the NHL trade deadline on February 25, 2019, the Predators traded Hartman to the Philadelphia Flyers. He added two goals and six points through 19 games with the Flyers as the club missed the playoffs. On June 24, Hartman was again involved in a trade, dealt by the Flyers to the Dallas Stars, but on the following day, Hartman was not tendered a qualifying offer from the Stars, enabling him to become a free agent on July 1. On the opening day of free agency, Hartman was signed to a two-year, $3.8 million contract with the Minnesota Wild on July 1, 2019 and on April 22, 2021, Hartman signed a three-year, $5.1 million contract extension with the Wild.
