Stars shine through

As fans of the Carolina Hurricanes, we all know that this team is home to a lot of talent. Carolina will need their stars to shine through tonight against a Chicago Blackhawks team with a lot of defensive frailties. I said Boston was a team that would require the Canes to grind a win out. Tonight, Carolina’s stars are going to need to carry the load.

I talked about how Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov extended their point streaks in the Boston game. We know that the Carolina Hurricanes have the depth to keep up with any team, but we’re yet to see a game where these two completely take control and dominate a team. Tonight needs to be that night.

It’s strange to say that when they have a combined 18 points in the 6 games played so far this season but we know that the team has not exactly seen their complete domination yet. While they have been very impressive to start the year, we all know that these two players in particular have so much more to give. All three members of the SAT line have more to give.

Chicago’s defensive unit is very suspect right now. If the big talents on the Carolina Hurricanes team can shine early and put this game to bed early. Chicago has some good forwards, but this could very much be a night for the Canes offense to blow the doors off early and often to demoralize the Hawks roster.
