Blackhawks fans usually travel pretty well, especially to warm-weather cities, so it’s no surprise the Hurricanes wanted to send them with a parting gift following the 5-0 Carolina win.

Chicago fans shouldn’t feel too bad, though. Despite sitting in sixth place in the Metropolitan Division, Carolina is one of the hottest teams in the NHL having won seven of its past 10 games.

With the win, the Hurricanes have swept the season series against the Blackhawks, who lead the Western Conference with 70 points.
