After a two-day break, the Chicago Blackhawks will get back to the ice tonight against the San Jose Sharks. The Blackhawks are coming off a 3-0-0 roadtrip through Colorado, Arizona and Dallas, and they’ll spend the next three games at the Madhouse on Madison. The Sharks are concluding a four-game road swing, which has seen them lose to Anaheim and Nashville but defeat St. Louis.
This game will mark the conclusion of the regular-season series between these teams, with the Blackhawks having previously won 4-3 in overtime at home and 5-2 on the road. That may make the Sharks seem like easier pickings tonight, but they have the second-most road victories in the league this season, sitting at 17-8-2 (behind Washington’s 18-5-2).
