The Carolina Hurricanes (27-16-3) will look to extend their impressive winning streak against the Chicago Blackhawks (15-28-3) when they visit the United Center on Monday night, having won their last six consecutive matchups against the Windy City hosts.
The Hurricanes enter the contest showcasing their offensive prowess with the league's seventh-best scoring average of 3.3 goals per game, while also maintaining a solid defensive record allowing just 2.8 goals per game.
Chicago, despite their recent 5-3 victory over Vegas that snapped a four-game losing streak, continues to face challenges on both ends of the ice, ranking 29th in goals scored and 31st in goals against.
The matchup presents a stark contrast in team statistics, with Carolina dominating in shots per game (31.8) while Chicago struggles with a league-low 25.1 shots per contest.
Both teams will need to adapt to key absences, as the Hurricanes play without Tyson Jost, William Carrier, and Jesper Fast, while the Blackhawks miss Connor Murphy and Laurent Brossiot.
As these Metropolitan and Central Division opponents prepare to face off, the question remains whether Chicago can overcome their recent struggles and break Carolina's commanding head-to-head record, or if the Hurricanes will continue their dominance in this cross-conference rivalry.
