The Carolina Hurricanes host the Chicago Blackhawks after Andrei Svechnikov's two-goal game against the New York Rangers in the Hurricanes' 4-0 win.
Slaggert put the Blackhawks ahead 2-1 at 18:14 with a snap shot from the top of the left circle off a drop pass from Lukas Reichel. Slaggert was playing his first NHL game of the season, having been recalled from Rockford of the American Hockey League on Sunday.
