Hurricanes aim for fifth straight win, visit Blackhawks
Mar 11, 2009 - 6:06 AM Carolina (36-27-5) at Chicago (36-19-9), 8:30 pm EDTCHICAGO (Ticker) -- Cam Ward and the Carolina Hurricanes will seek their fifth consecutive victory when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday.
Ward made 27 saves Monday to record his fifth shutout of the season as the Hurricanes skated to their fourth consecutive victory, a 3-0 triumph over the New York Rangers.
"It was a playoff game, in our eyes," Ward said. "Look at the standings, everybody knows what's at stake. It was important that we had a strong effort and we did."
Defenseman Joe Corvo, captain Rod Brind'Amour and Tuomo Ruutu scored and Ray Whitney collected two assists for the Hurricanes, who jumped to the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
The Blackhawks are trying to avoid a third straight defeat after suffering a 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday.
