Elias Lindholm and Lee Stempniak scored early goals 1:05 apart and Jay McClement added a third-period strike as the Carolina Hurricanes continued their home-ice surge with a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night.
Carolina is 10-0-1 at PNC Arena since Nov. 12.
“We’re obviously gaining confidence, and we’ve done that the last little while,” McClement said. “I think we’re kind of firing on all cylinders at home. We’ve just got to continue to do that on the road.”
Michal Kempny had a goal and an assist, and Vinnie Hinostroza added a deflected goal 5:49 into the third for the Western Conference-leading Blackhawks, whose four-game road winning streak was snapped.
