CHICAGO (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes have one game left on their schedule, and their playoff position is still undecided.
In the meantime, they are closing strong.
Seth Jarvis collected two goals and an assist in the third period, and Carolina beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2 on Sunday for its fifth consecutive victory.
The Hurricanes (52-22-7) remain in the running for the Metropolitan Division title and the Presidents’ Trophy, along with home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs. They are tied with the Dallas Stars with 111 points, one back of the New York Rangers.
New York (54-23-4) hosts Ottawa on Monday night, and Carolina is at Columbus on Tuesday night. Dallas (51-21-9) hosts St. Louis on Wednesday night.
“It’s tough because it’s out of our hands, right?” coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “We all know that we’re in the playoffs and maybe we move up, but chances are probably not. And no one’s catching us.
