Tonight, Carolina sees their first rematch of the season. They travel to Chicago to take on the Blackhawks. The last time these two teams met, the Carolina Hurricanes fell behind 1-0 and then 2-1 early before exploding to put up six goals before the halfway point of the game. Chicago would get a dead rubber goal later, but it would still end 6-3 as the Canes progressed to 7-0-0 off the back of it.

Now, Carolina is looking to go 9-0-0 in the standings. This time, the Hurricanes are rested and not on the second half of a back-to-back and we can expect the Hurricanes to come out with a little more energy than the last time these two hockey clubs contested. This doesn’t mean it should be any less entertaining.

Carolina will be looking to dominate this game in a fashion that they couldn’t seem to when they met the Arizona Coyotes. Tonight’s game provides an opportunity for the team to make amends for a poor performance in their last one and this is a team that will not need their butts kicked twice in order to get the message across. With the Carolina Hurricanes, we know they’re going to be back to their best.

We know that the team is in the Windy City, and this is the first time the Carolina Hurricanes will play in Chitown since the allegations regarding the scandal came out. This is going to be the first time that the Carolina Hurricanes will seek to destroy the organization that has disgraced itself with the allegations of sexual assault within the organization.

Now, the Carolina Hurricanes look to take two points from Chicago.
