Goals hard to come by as Blackhawks prepare for Hurricanes

The Chicago Blackhawks might need to become used to low-scoring games based on recent results. That could create a dilemma against the Carolina Hurricanes.

The teams face off Thursday night in Raleigh, N.C., for their first meeting of the season.

The Hurricanes, who like Chicago will be coming off a two-day break in the schedule, carry a three-game winning streak into the matchup.

Powered by Spencer Knight's 32 saves, the Blackhawks halted a three-game losing streak with Monday's 2-0 victory against the Winnipeg Jets.
