Chicago Blackhawks @ San Jose Sharks Preview
In what can be described as a battle between two struggling teams, the Chicago Blackhawks (20-36-9) visit the San Jose Sharks (17-40-9) at the SAP Center. Both teams are looking to snap their respective losing streaks, with the Sharks on a three-game skid and the Blackhawks trying to find consistency on the road.
Chicago's recent acquisition, goaltender Spencer Knight, has been a bright spot, boasting a .941 save percentage in his first three starts. Meanwhile, the Sharks have struggled defensively, allowing a league-worst 3.70 goals per game. Offensively, the Blackhawks have been slightly better, averaging 2.9 goals per game over their last 10, compared to the Sharks' 2.7 goals per game.
Special teams could play a pivotal role in this matchup. The Blackhawks have a strong power play, converting 25% of their opportunities, while the Sharks' penalty kill ranks near the bottom of the league. However, the Sharks' home ice advantage and the potential spark from newcomer Collin Graf, who scored in their last game, could make this a closely contested game.
