After blowing a 2-0 lead on Wednesday against the Florida Panthers, the Carolina Hurricanes will look to right the ship tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks. The last time these two teams played the Blackhawks ended the Canes’ five-game winning streak with a 6-4 victory on Feb. 4th.
The Canes currently sit one point behind Chicago in the Central Division, and the Hawks are tied for the division lead with the Panthers. While this seems like a vital game, the Canes have four games in hand on the Blackhawks and the Blue Jackets who are the next closest team to them in the standings.
