This is a 7* on CAROLINA

Look for Carolina to take no mercy on Chicago tonight in this Central Division matchup. The ‘Canes are looking really good this season. They are 6-1 and have won five straight, including a 4-3 win here in the Windy City two nights ago. That was their second straight win in a shootout. It’s worth mentioning Carolina did have a 41-33 edge in shots. Petr Mrazek having surgery is a blow, but Carolina is lucky to still have James Reimer between the pipes. He turned away 30 of 33 shots Tuesday including all three he faced in the shootout. Reimer is now 4-0 as the starter this season and has a 2.19 GAA as well as a .915 save percentage. The Blackhawks have won only three games so far and two of those came against Detroit, who is the worst team in the league. They are 0-5 vs. the Hurricanes the last three seasons including 0-3 in Chicago. Play on CAROLINA
