โ The Chicago Blackhawks have not been great on the road this season, but they are 4-5-1 in their last 10 road contests. That has helped to earn them points in five of those 10 games. What has stood out is that the team is a perfect 4-0-0 against sub .500 teams in their last four road games.
Chicago Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks (26-41-11; 37-41 ATS) fell to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday, 4-1. The loss dropped Chicago to 2-7-1 in their last 10 games. The Blackhawks are in eighth place in the Western Conference wildcard standings, long since eliminated from playoff contention. Chicago is 14-20-5 on the road.
Patrick Kane had the only goal of the game, his 26th of the season. Kane leads the team with 91 points, but Alex DeBrincat has caught fire recently, recording eight assists and nine points over his last five games. DeBrincat now has a five-game point streak where he has recorded multiple points in three of those games. Chicago is a team struggling to score goals, 27th in the NHL at 2.62 goals per game. The power-play has been effective enough for this club, 19th overall at 20%.
San Jose Sharks
The San Jose Sharks (30-35-12; 39-38 ATS) were shut down by the St. Louis Blues on Thursday, losing 3-1. That dropped the Sharks to 4-5-1, seventh in the Western Conference wildcard standings. They are nine points ahead of Chicago and are two points behind Anaheim for sixth place in the division. San Jose has also been eliminated. The Sharks are 17-17-5 at home.
James Reimer played well for San Jose, stopping 25 of 27 shots, but his team produced just one for their netminder. Kaapo Kahkonen will likely get the start (2.91 GAA, .911 save percentage) as the team is preparing for next season. San Jose is a team that simply cannot score goals (30th at 2.56), so they need stellar goaltending to keep them in any game.
