The Blackhawks have been struggling lately and are currently on a 5 game losing streak but they're still #1 in the Metropolitan Division. The Hurricanes are on a hot streak right now and are playing good at home. They rank #5 in defense in the NHL and have allowed only 1.6 goals per game in their last 5 games. With the Blackhawks struggling to score at this moment It's hard to trust them against a tough defense like Carolina. Take the Hurricanes to win.
