Hurricanes vs Blackhawks Prediction
The Hurricanes are 9-1 in their last 10 meetings against the Blackhawks and have won their last 5 visits in Chicago.
In this Hurricanes vs Blackhawks Prediction, the Hurricanes are coming as -235 road favorites. The Canes are back on track after losing their first two games of the season and have now won three straight, having scored 13 goals in their last two. They will face a struggling Blackhawks team that has won only once this season and have a terrible offense and power play, with 2 goals per game and an 8.3 PP% and their goaltending has also been shaky at best. The Canes also dominate this matchup and I expect them to have no trouble today and win easily and cover the puckline.
