Hurricanes vs. Blackhawks prediction: Odds and NHL pick today
The Chicago Blackhawks are 6-5-3 in the first month of the 2022-23 NHL season. Their .536 points percentage is the 17th-best in league so far.
Arvid Soderblom is a surprise success in goalkeeping for the Chicago Blackhawks. He has a .931 save percentage and +3.51 Goals Saved Above Expected (GSAx) in five games. The team is in the middle of a rebuild. Chicago ranks 29th in expected goals percentage, 30th high-danger scoring chance rate. They are getting caved in at 5-on-5, but Sodermo keeps them in games long enough to nick a result.
The Carolina Hurricanes are second in expected goals rate and high-danger scoring chance percentage. They should have a good chance of beating the Blackhawks on Monday night. Chicago's start is good, but it's unsustainable.
