Carolina is off to the best start in the history of the franchise. 6-0-0 and in a dominant fashion, the team is looking to improve to 7-0-0 tonight on the second part of a back-to-back as they face the disgraced Chicago Blackhawks. Being on the second half of a back-to-back when you’re playing a team that didn’t play last night means that this is going to be a difficult task regardless.
Now, I’m going to touch on why the Blackhawks are currently disgraced, but I will not dive into detail. If you want more information, I highly suggest reading the legal investigation into this series of events that has led to many heads rolling in the National Hockey League.
