(55) Chicago Blackhawks at (56) San Jose Sharks

10:37pm EDT - Mar 13/2025

THE PLAY: San Jose Sharks -112

With a 17-49 (17-40-9) record on the season, the Sharks don't find themselves favored very often. As of Wednesday afternoon, however, they're the slightest of favorites for Thursday's game vs. Chicago. Whether or not they actually close as favorites, I like the Sharks' chances of making the most of their opportunity. Note that the Sharks have outshot four straight opponents and that they've been close to breaking through with a victory. The Hawks are somewhat respectable at Chicago but they're a dreadful 7-26 on the road. The home team won both games when these teams faced each other back in October. Home ice proves the difference, once again.
