Blackhawks host surging Hurricanes

CHICAGO (Ticker) - The Chicago Blackhawks are going in the wrong direction as the NHL playoffs draw near.

The Blackhawks face the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday trying to snap a three-game losing streak.

The Hurricanes, who have a seven-point lead over Washington and Florida in the Southeast Division, has won four straight games and seven of its last eight.

"We're worrying about ourselves now," Hurricanes' right wing Scott Walker said. "That's all we can do."

With 11 games left, the 2006 Stanley Cup champions appear to be headed back to the playoffs after missing out last season.

"The way the game is played right now, it plays to our strength," center Eric Staal said.

Wednesday's game will only be the second between the teams in the last three seasons. The Blackhawks have not defeated Carolina at home since a 2-1 victory on April 3, 1999.
