Chicago Blackhawks vs. Carolina Hurricanes Predictions

Score Prediction: Carolina 4 Chicago 2

Chicago's another team that's counting down the days until vacations, losers of five in a row entering tonight. The Hawks were never really in the game last night as big underdogs, and with each of Chicago's last four opponents now scoring at least four goals, trying to pick a spot to back this team the rest of the way just isn't worth the headache.

The Hurricanes are looking for their fifth straight win as they want to claim top spot in the Central Division, and I don't think they screw around here. It'l be another game where an early lead is followed by Carolina's defense locking things down, with the regulation line always my preferred choice if you want to eliminate some of that chalk.
