The Carolina Hurricanes clinched the 2nd place spot (or higher) in the Discover Central Division last night with yet another commanding win over the Chicago Blackhawks. This guarantees the Canes home-ice advantage in the first round of the 2020-21 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.
After going down early in the first period by 2 goals, the Canes bounced back in a big way, scoring twice in the 2nd period to tie the game up heading into the 3rd.
