CHICAGO - The Carolina Hurricanes can extend their winning streak to six games when they rematch the Chicago Blackhawks to round out the first third of a six-game road swing.

The Last Meeting

Jordan Staal recorded a pair of assists while Andrei Svechnikov and Vincent Trocheck each tallied their team-leading fifth goals of the season in a 3-3 regulation draw with the Chicago Blackhawks. Extra hockey was required for the third time in the Canes' last four games, and a shootout then decided the final score for the second game in a row. James Reimer turned aside all three shots he faced, while Svechnikov netted the winning goal in the third round of the shootout, marking the Canes' eighth straight shootout win.

I think the Canes are going to show better effort this game. Im looking specifically for a better performance from the covid crew. Although I will say that we may not get the W if Reimer doesn't start at goal.  Nedelkovic looked really flaky when he was needed for a stretch last year after the EBUG game against Toronto.

Also as a side note its a interesting day of games in the central division with the Preds vs Panthers and CBJ vs Dallas.

Go Canes!

Ya, I'm interested to see how Rod shakes up the lines if at all since the slow start from the COVID crew.

    • I think the last time I watched the Pro Bowl was that year Sean Taylor blew up that poor punter. LOL
    • I don’t go back and look at the espn but there live it definitely said 1 shot 1 goal when it happened. I guess they had not added them yet. Still allowing goals that early is rough. Blue line is a total disaster still. Even with Slavin back. Miller and Nikishin keep making mistakes after mistakes. 
    • I generally disagree with the concept of picking a position because of value early in the draft. For instance, if there's a really good safety, RB or ILB at pick 10, I'm choosing him over a project WR or DE. Better players make the team better. A bunch of ok players will give you an ok team. The number 1 goal of the draft should be to improve the overall talent on the team. Not to fill positions of need.  Deciding beforehand that you're picking a LT in the first or second round because Ickey went down is not the way to improve the team. Now if Dan has similar grades on 2 or 3 players and one happens to be a LT, then yeah go for it. But don't pass on your guy at ILB because you have a gap at LT or need to improve the pass rush with a DE. When those guys don't pan out then you haven't improved your team. But that LB could have been a franchise cornerstone for years to come. See Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey.
