Chicago Blackhawks vs San Jose Sharks Prediction

If you’re looking to bet on this game, you should probably call a 1-800 number. The Blackhawks and Sharks are the two worst teams in the NHL and trying to decide which team sucks less isn’t how I’m spending my Thursday night. However, since we’re here, I’m rolling with the Sharks at home. The home team has won both games between the Sharks and Blackhawks, and Chicago is 7-21-5 on the road this season. If forced to pick either of these teams I need plus money attached to it and we’re not getting that here. Pick 'em spot, give me the Sharks.
