Kicking off their back-to-back in Chicago, the Canes come into town on a roll, finally getting to their game offensively and ruling the day on special teams.
The Carolina Hurricanes visit the Chicago Blackhawks to begin a busy back-to-back weekend set. Carolina enters the game on a three-game winning streak following a 7-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday, where Logan Stankoven scored a hat trick and Sean Walker recorded four points. The Hurricanes' offense has combined for 13 goals across their past two games, driven by effective special teams and multi-line scoring.
Meanwhile, Chicago holds a 1-4-0 record and deals with several key absences, including captain Connor Bedard, who remains sidelined following an offseason training injury. The Blackhawks are also without the suspended Frank Nazar, along with injured forwards Andrew Mangiapane and Teuvo Teravainen. For Carolina, forward Seth Jarvis progressed toward a return by shedding his no-contact sweater at Thursday's morning skate.
