Carolina at Chicago

Chicago has scored 10 goals in five games and was shut out 6-0 at Utah on October 1. Connor Bedard, who scored 30 goals in 69 games last season, is on injured reserve with a shoulder injury, and Chicago’s 213 goals last season were the second-fewest in the league. Carolina allowed 240, tied for fourth-fewest, and has given up 14 in five games. Chicago has allowed 21 in five games (4.2 a game), and its 275 allowed last season were the sixth-most in the league. Carolina scored 13 goals in its last two games, 6-4 over Montreal and 7-2 over Vancouver, and scored three or fewer in its other three games. Chicago has scored two or fewer in three of its five games. Three of Chicago’s five games ended with six goals or fewer, while two of Carolina’s five did. Averaging each club’s goals scored per game last season with the other’s goals allowed per game puts Carolina at 3.5 and Chicago at 2.8. Take the UNDER tonight.
