RALEIGH, N.C. – Andrew Shaw scored two goals, and the Chicago Blackhawks held off the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1 on Monday night.

Shaw and Sharp scored 1:19 apart in the first period.

Shaw netted his 11th goal of the season, one-timing Marcus Kruger's behind-the-net pass. Sharp then scored on a rush, redirecting Marian Hossa's pass by Khudobin.

Rask made it 2-1 at 3:54 of the second period with his 11th goal of the season. Eric Staal's initial shot on a breakaway was stopped by Crawford, but Rask put in the rebound.

Chicago was held without a shot for the first 9:53 of the second and was being outshot 17-1 overall in the period when Khudobin made a strong save on Shaw about five minutes before intermission.

The Hurricanes outshot the Blackhawks 19-6 in the frame.
