Carolina is 12-0-1 in their last 13 games and come into tonight’s game one of two teams (with Boston) to have 50 points in the standings in the entire NHL. Andrei Svechnikov is an artist with the puck and comes into tonight’s game with 18 goals on the season, leading the Canes. Chicago has two players tied for the team lead with 11 (Max Domi and Jonathan Toews). This is a tough test to start the post-Christmas schedule.
