The league-leading Hurricanes look to extend Chicago’s winless road streak before heading overseas, while the struggling Blackhawks search for an upset behind young star Connor Bedard in Raleigh.

When - 8 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 7

How to Watch - Hurricanes Hockey Network, Chicago Sportsnet
The Carolina Hurricanes will play their final game before the NHL Global Series tonight as they host the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Hurricanes are back in the win column thanks to a 5-3 win over the New York Islanders and they continue to pace the league overall as well with a 13-3-2 record.
Chicago meanwhile enters tonight's contest losers of five straight and have yet to win a single road game all season.
The Blackhawks have long struggled with converting their young, expected talent to on-ice results and it seems this year will again be a struggle for them in that regard.
