Chicago may be in first place but they are not playing well, on a 1-3 run losing three times as chalk of -170, -280 and -155. Chicago had to play last night on the road, winning at Nashville. Carolina is 10-3-1 at home with great balance, #11 in goals scored, #10 on the power play and tops in the league in penalty killing. Carolina is rested, off Wednesday's 3-2 loss in Pittsburgh, putting 46 shots on net. Carolina has won 9-of-10 at home and swept the two-game series from the Blackhawks last season. The home team is 7-3 when these teams clash, with the Blackhawks on a 2-7-1 run at Carolina. I like Carolina tonight.
