Hurricanes vs Blackhawks Prediction

I’m on the Hurricanes here. I think Carolina is far and away the better team here, and it seems like the re-insertion of Frederik Andersen in Carolina’s crease has restored one of the best goaltending groups in the NHL in the regular season for Carolina here. Kochetkov’s been solid in relief and Andersen is fantastic as well. I just don’t know how much I trust the Blackhawks even with a decent amount of plus money here. The Blackhawks are going to have chances to win and provide value as the season progresses, but I don’t envision this being one of those spots. Give me Carolina here.
