qAfter playing in one of the more boring games in recent memory Saturday, the Chicago Blackhawks head right back to the ice tonight for a tilt against the San Jose Sharks. After playing in Buffalo yesterday, however, the Blackhawks will play host at the United Center tonight.
These teams last met in the middle of Chicago’s circus trip last month, with San Jose just getting off an extended road trip itself. The result was a letdown for the Sharks in the Shark Tank, as the Blackhawks walked out with a 5-2 victory. San Jose started the season strong but is now, along with much of the Pacific Division, wading through relatively mediocrity.
