Hurricanes at Blackhawks: Gameday Preview
Tonight, the Carolina Hurricanes come to town to faceoff against the Blackhawks for their first meeting of the season. The Blackhawks were able to rally from a two goal deficit to defeat the Ducks in their last game, bringing their season record to 6-5-3. The Blackhawks have 15 points and are in third place in the Western Conference Wild Card standings.
The Hurricanes enter the evening with a 9-5-1 record, which is good enough for third place in the Metropolitan division. The Hurricanes have some players who are hot right now, most notably Sebastian Aho with 3 goals and 6 points in his last 5 contests. Former Blackhawk Antii Raanta will most likely get the nod to start for Carolina tonight. He has a 3-2-1 record with a 2.00 GAA and .909 save percentage.
The Blackhawks have played consistent hockey recently and will most likely lean on Soderblom tonight in net, who has a 2-2-1 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .931 save percentage. Patrick Kane picked it up after a cold streak and registered two assists against the Ducks. He looked more comfortable out there which is a good sign for the offense that has struggled recently.
Puck drop tonight is at 7:30 central time and Hawks fans can catch the action live on NBC Sports Chicago and can be streamed on the MyTeamsApp for in market customers and ESPN+ for out of market customers. Hopefully the Hawks can build off of the momentum established after the win in Anaheim and can take down Carolina tonight on home ice.
