| | | CAROLINA: LAST SEASON: 36-35-11, 83 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing 13th in the Eastern Conference.
COACH: Bill Peters, 1st season with Hurricanes; 1st overall in NHL.
ADDED: C Brad Malone, D Tim Gleason.
LOST: C Manny Malhotra, G Justin Peters, C Brett Sutter.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Eric Staal. The captain is coming off the most disappointing season of his career, with his 21 goals his fewest in an 82-game season since he was a rookie a decade ago. With a salary of $9.25 million, he's one of the highest-paid players in the game but he managed just one power-play goal last season. He had sports hernia surgery during the offseason, and a fresh start with the detail-driven Peters could be just what Staal needs.
OUTLOOK: No team in the current alignment of the Eastern Conference has a longer playoff drought than the Hurricanes, who haven't made the postseason since 2009. How quickly Peters' message of focus and personal accountability gets through to a largely unchanged roster will determine whether that streak finally ends this season. | | CHICAGO: LAST SEASON: 46-21-15, 107 points. Finished third in Central Division, lost to Los Angeles Kings in Western Conference final.
COACH: Joel Quenneville, 7th season with the Blackhawks, 268-127-59; 18th in the NHL, 706-410-77-100.
ADDED: C Brad Richards, G Michael Leighton.
LOST: LW Brandon Bollig, D Sheldon Brookbank.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Brandon Saad. The talented winger was terrific in the final part of the playoff series against the Kings, collecting three goals and four assists in the last four games. Playing on a line with Patrick Kane and newcomer Brad Richards, he could do even better than his career highs of 19 goals and 28 assists from last season.
OUTLOOK: It's Stanley Cup or bust for the loaded Blackhawks, who have no glaring weaknesses. They should be among the league's highest-scoring teams again this season, and Norris Trophy winner Duncan Keith leads a solid group of defensemen. The Central could be hockey's toughest division, but the Blackhawks are a legitimate threat for their third NHL title in the last six seasons. |

*Hurricanes-Blackhawks Preview* ===============================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Carolina (24-30-7) at Chicago (37-21-5), 8:30 p.m. EDT
With two trades in as many days, the Chicago Blackhawks believe they've found the right pair to help fill the void left by the absence of their leading scorer and improve an inconsistent defense.
Veterans Antoine Vermette and Kimmo Timonen could make their debut with the Blackhawks on Monday night against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes, who can match a season high with their fourth straight win.
One night after Chicago (37-21-5) acquired Timonen from Philadelphia for two draft picks, it picked up Vermette from Arizona on Saturday in exchange for prospect Klas Dahlbeck and a 2015 first-round pick.
Though Vermette (13 goals, 22 assists) has been shut out in six straight contests, the addition of the Coyotes' top point-producing forward could help the Blackhawks overcome the expected 12-week loss of injured star Patrick Kane (fractured clavicle).
"Vermette is a terrific player," Coyotes general manager Don Maloney said.
While the 11-year veteran was a frequent subject of trade rumors and will certainly be welcome in Chicago, his immediate emotions were mixed.
"You've got to take (the trade) as a man," Vermette told the NHL's official website. "It's part of the game, unfortunately. It's not easy."
Timonen, who turns 40 this month, appears set to make his season debut after being sidelined by blood clots discovered in his leg and lungs last summer. The former All-Star ranks third among active NHL defensemen with 571 points.
"He's fresh, he's ready to go," Chicago general manager Stan Bowman said. "Once we get him up to speed, he's a great player."
Hoping to get one last shot at the Stanley Cup before retiring at the end of the season, Timonen provides a veteran presence for a defensive corps that's minus Johnny Oduya (upper-body injury) and has yielded at least four non-shootout goals in four of the last nine games.
"He is going to give us a lot of options, versatility and leadership," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville told the team's official website. "We'll get him going."
Third in the Central Division and a loser in four of six, Chicago looks to bounce back from a 4-0 defeat at Tampa Bay on Friday.
Corey Crawford wasn't in net for that contest but should play Monday after making 20 saves in a 3-0 victory at Florida on Thursday. He had allowed four goals in each of his two previous outings. Crawford posted a 1.93 goals-against average in winning both starts versus Carolina last season.
While the Blackhawks have been active buyers prior to Monday's trade deadline, the Hurricanes (24-30-7) have already unloaded forward Jiri Tlusty and defensemen Andrej Sekera and Tim Gleason.
Though Carolina is set to miss the playoffs for a sixth consecutive season, it's owned a 12-4 goal advantage during a three-game winning streak.
"We had a good week, obviously," coach Bill Peters told the team's official website.
Jay McClement, who signed a two-year contract extension with Carolina on Sunday, scored twice Saturday. He's recorded three of his six goals in the last three games.
Chicago captain Jonathan Toews had a goal in three straight games before Friday's loss. He's scored in two consecutive home contests against the Hurricanes.
Vermette has gone without a point in his last six versus Carolina.
