Chicago Blackhawks vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 1/28/25, 6:22 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 1/30/25 at 1:24 AM in NHL Picks

Next Thursday night the NHL will bring up a game that can be categorized as one of the most uneven Inter-Conference games in the regular season, as Carolina Hurricanes will clash against Chicago Blackhawks at 06:00 pm CST. With that in mind, it isn’t surprising enough to have the Hurricanes as the absolute favorites to win this game according to the bookmakers’ odds.

Also, it must be added that Carolina Hurricanes have recently displayed a very powerful offensive performance, being just 3 goals away from equalizing the scoring ratio of Washington Capitals, who have remained at the top spot of the Eastern Conference during the last weeks. Nevertheless, the Hurricanes are far from being unbeatable, as they just recently showed during their OT loss against New York Islanders last Saturday.

In the meantime, Chicago Blackhawks have totally met the general expectations from the analysts and fans, as they were expecting the Blackhawks to stay at the bottom of the Western Conference standings just like it happened during the prior season. Even so, they’ve managed to win 2 out of their last 5 games, so they cannot be underestimated as they don’t really have anything else to lose during the regular season.
