We’ll see if the Blackhawks can string together two straight good games with a very good — but struggling — Carolina Hurricanes team in town. And you know who could probably give the Blackhawks an in-depth scouting report? Teuvo Teräväinen.
A couple notes on the lineup you’re going to read below: Pat Maroon is dealing with a back issue so he gets the night off and Philipp Kurashev will draw back in. You’ll also note the coaches are swapping Frank Nazar and Tyler Bertuzzi to the opposite wings from where they started last game. Interim head coach Anders Sorensen said this morning that line will flow with the game but they like that they can both play either side.

Laurent Brossoit (knee) and Connor Murphy (groin) are on IR. Craig Smith (back) is still out. Pat Maroon (back) is getting the night off.Carolina Hurricanes
Jesper Fast is on IR. William Carrier and Tyson Jost are out.What to Watch For
The Blackhawks have been talking about stringing together good periods into good games. They won a great game against Vegas their last time out. Let’s see a second straight good effort. Bedard, Nazar and Bertuzzi have been really good together. Can Nazar get one into the net tonight? Reichel made a gorgeous play offensively against Vegas. Hopefully his confidence stays high and he stays in that mindset. Carolina did not have a morning skate. Let’s see if the Blackhawks can get out to a fast start.Get Caught Up
Connor Bedard on Lukas Reichel's speed: "He FLIES. It's absurd how fast that guy goes. And his hands can move at the same time, his brain can move at the same time, and that's rare when you're going that fast and you can make those plays. He's fun to watch." #Blackhawks
