The Carolina Hurricanes will be in St. Louis on Thursday night before making the trip to Chicago on Friday to face off against the Blackhawks.

Chicago will also be on the ice Thursday night, playing host to the Buffalo Sabres.

Carolina Hurricanes

Carolina will look to get back on track Thursday against the Blues before they head to the Windy City on Friday. The Hurricanes fell 1-3 against the Devils at home on Tuesday.

The lone goal of the night came off the stick of Sebastian Aho at the 12:24 mark in the third, but it wasn’t enough to get any kind of a comeback going.

Jeff Skinner leads the Canes with 27 points this season, 13 of them coming from putting the puck in the net.

The Hurricanes are currently sitting at 19th in the NHL in scoring with an average of 2.5 goals per night. They are 14th in the league on the power play, scoring on 18.7 percent of their opportunities.

Carolina is 11th in the league on defense, holding their opponents to just 2.6 goals per game.

They have been the best the NHL has to offer on the penalty kill, keeping the other guys out of the net 89 percent of the time Carolina is forced to skate a man down.

Chicago Blackhawks

The Blackhawks have been in a funk as of late and will have a chance to get things turned around Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres before this one.

Chicago has dropped two games in a row after falling 1-4 against the St. Louis Blues in the Winter Classic on Monday. Artemi Panarin currently is leading the team with a total of 39 points this season.

Chicago has been solid when it comes to defending the goal, only giving up an average of 2.4 goals per game, good for 8th in the NHL.

They could use some help when it comes to the penalty kill, giving up a goal 24.1 percent of the time they are skating a man down.

Free Carolina Hurricanes vs. Chicago Blackhawks NHL Hockey Prediction:

I like Chicago at home with both teams playing the second game of a back-to-back.

Yes, Carolina has solid numbers both scoring and defending the net, but Chicago has played stronger and is the overall better team.

BetOnline Sportsbook Review

BetOnline is where I go when I want to get serious about the number. Early lines, high limits and a massive betting board give me more chances to find an edge before the market catches up. Football is especially strong, but there’s no shortage of props, futures, live wagering and action across the major sports. I’ve learned over the years that half a point here and ten cents there can make a hell of a difference. BetOnline gives me another place to find them. — Razor Ray
