CHICAGO -- The San Jose Sharks may be on a serious winning streak right now, but even after seven straight victories, they are not taking anything for granted.
The Sharks head into Monday's meeting with the Chicago Blackhawks on their longest win streak since 2013 after extending their string of success on Saturday against the Calgary Flames.
And yet for all of the winning the Sharks (43-23-9) have done lately, they find themselves still chasing a better playoff seeding while facing the Blackhawks, whose string of nine consecutive playoff appearances ended after Chicago was officially eliminated from postseason contention last week.
