On one side, you have a team trying to stay alive (the Hurricanes). On the other, you’ll see one trying to stay on top (the Blackhawks).
Both have the broader goal of entering the All-Star break with a win, so don’t be surprised if these two teams go all-out knowing that they won’t play a game that counts in the standings for a week or more.
This also marks the debut of Blackhawks prospect Mark McNeill, so there’s plenty to watch on NBCSN or online via the link below.
