Blackhawks vs Hurricanes Pickswise Expert Predictions

Puck Line Pick
CAR Hurricanes -1.5(-115)

The Chicago Blackhawks will travel to Carolina to face the Hurricanes for the first time this season. The Blackhawks have struggled throughout the season, particularly on the road, where they allow many scoring chances while generating very few. Spencer Knight is likely to start in goal for this matchup, but there is only so much he can do during a game.

On the other hand, the Hurricanes have won 3 consecutive games, outscoring their opponents 15-3 in that span. They rank in the top 5 in shots per game and should have no trouble creating scoring opportunities. Additionally, they are also in the top 5 for fewest shots allowed, with fewer than 25 per game. This combination of high shot volume and low shots against is how elite teams accumulate wins.

Carolina is the clear favourite in this matchup, and all the statistics support this conclusion. We expect them to win by a few goals.

Blackhawks vs Hurricanes prediction: Carolina Hurricanes -1.5 (-115) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number or better.
