RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Oliver Moore scored in the shootout on his 21st birthday and Spencer Knight stopped five of six shots by Carolina to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 4-3 shootout win over the Hurricanes on Thursday night.

The Chicago Blackhawks are still working their way out of a rebuild. But after going toe-to-toe with two of the NHL's best, they'll look to keep it going when they host the back-to-back Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Sunday.

A worrying video has emerged of Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams clearly in pain at a Chicago Blackhawks game.

When the Blackhawks acquired Knight in a trade with the Florida Panthers for defenseman Seth Jones on March 1, they expected him to be their present and future No. 1 goalie. They showed that was the case by signing him to a three-year, $17.5 million contract ($5.83 million average annual value) on Sept. 13.

Moore's decision to challenge Hurricanes defenseman Alexander Nikishin went poorly, but he bounced back to deliver the sixth-round winner Thursday as the Hawks escaped Raleigh with a 4-3 win.

Spencer Knight is going to start for the Blackhawks after having that Bruins game off. No matter what, Chicago has a chance to win when he's in between the pipes. In front of him, he needs the offense to get back on track after lackluster efforts over the last three games.

The Hurricanes welcome a playoff-hungry Chicago squad to Raleigh on Thursday.
