The Carolina Hurricanes beat the Chicago Blackhawks 9-2 at Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Carolina improved to 13-3-2 and Chicago fell to 4-12-1. The Hurricanes outshot the Blackhawks 32-20 and scored all nine of their goals at even strength.

Four goals in the first period

Carolina led 4-0 after the first period. Seth Jarvis opened the scoring at 1:34 and Jackson Blake made it 2-0 at 3:21. Jordan Martinook then scored twice in the same period, at 10:54 and at 19:27, and the game was already out of reach before the first intermission.

Chicago was credited with two shots on goal in the second period and trailed 7-0 after 40 minutes. The period scores show the shape of the night: Carolina scored four goals in the first period, three in the second and two in the third, while Chicago scored none in the first two periods and two in the third.

Svechnikov and Martinook score twice

Andrei Svechnikov scored two goals for Carolina, at 4:43 of the second period and at 19:47 of the third. Martinook's two first period goals gave Carolina a second two-goal scorer on the night.

Sebastian Aho finished with one goal and two assists. Alexander Nikishin and Shayne Gostisbehere each had one goal and one assist, so the scoring ran through the lineup as well as the top line.

Chicago scores late, Knight is pulled

Roman Kantserov and Connor Bedard scored third period goals for Chicago. Bedard finished with one goal and one assist and Alex Vlasic had two assists.

Chicago goaltender Spencer Knight was pulled after allowing six goals and Arvid Soderblom played the rest of the game. Pyotr Kochetkov made 18 saves for Carolina, on a night when his team controlled the shot count from the first period on.

A hard start for Chicago

The loss left Chicago at 4-12-1. Before the game had ended, theScore reported that Chicago was active in the trade market amid its poor start to the season, citing Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. That report described market activity only. No trade was announced in the sources for this game, and the result in Raleigh gave Chicago no relief on the ice.

Carolina, at 13-3-2, closed the night with nine goals from seven scorers and a 7-0 lead built before Chicago scored at all.
