Teuvo Teräväinen and Alec Martinez took maintenance days, and Jason Dickinson was listed out with an “illness” — not what you’d expect after he grabbed his right arm in pain after getting hit with a shot during Monday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Chicago Blackhawks had a chance to win two games in a row for just the third time this season, but the Carolina Hurricanes had other ideas. Despite falling behind 2-0 in the first period, the visitors came from behind to win 4-3 in overtime.
Philipp Kurashev had a bounce-back game, but the Chicago Blackhawks coughed up two leads — including a two-goal advantage.
CHICAGO (AP) — Sebastian Aho scored 59 seconds into overtime, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 on Monday night. Seth Jarvis, Jordan Staal and Jesperi Kotkaniemi also scored for Carolina in its second straight win. Staal picked up his 700th career point in game No. 1,300.
Mrazek will be between the pipes for the fifth time over Chicago's last seven games. Across his last four starts, he's gone 2-2-0 with a 3.27 GAA and .903 save percentage. The Hurricanes will present a tough test Monday, as they're tied for sixth in the NHL with 3.30 goals per game.
Mrazek stopped 44 of 48 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes. Mrazek had to settle with another loss, his third across his last four outings, but he shouldn't get much of the blame for the outcome of the contest based on his workload.
It was Aho's fourth OT winner of the season (the Canes have four overtime victories and Necas has also assisted on every one as well) and the 15th of his career. Since he entered the league in 2017-18, only Leon Draisaitl (17) has more overtime game-winning goals.
The Carolina Hurricanes took to the road for a midweek road trip, taking on the Chicago Blackhawks and Dallas Stars in a central division back-to-back affair.
The Blackhawks aren’t feeling celebratory about tying their season-long point streak.
