It’s the Chicago Blackhawks vs. Chicago Blackhawks Southeast Thursday night at the United Center as the Hawks welcome the Carolina Hurricanes to 1901 W. Madison St.
Along with leading scorer Teuvo Teravainen, who’s already been discussed at this website, Carolina also boasts former Hawks defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk, Klas Dahlbeck, forward Joakim Nordstrom and goaltender Scott Darling. And don’t forget about Marcus Kruger, who’s down in the minors.
Carolina remains in striking distance of a wild card berth in the Eastern Conference, just four points behind Columbus’ 73 points with 67 games played for each team.
