What are the Chicago Blackhawks' current challenges before facing the Sharks?
Welcome to San Jose Sharks News Today. Two minutes of updates that matter to San Jose Sharks fans. Hit subscribe and stay connected. The Chicago Blackhawks are heading into a busy stretch with just one home game this February before the Olympic break and trade deadline hit. On Monday, they host the San Jose Sharks in the first of three matchups this season. Both teams are in rebuild mode, but the Sharks sit just one point from a Western Conference playoff spot, while the Blackhawks trail the last wild card by nine points and the Sharks by eight. In lineup news, forward Nick Foligno is day-to-day after leaving Thursday's game early and will miss Monday. Goalie Spencer Knight is set to start, and rookie Artyom Levshunov sits as a healthy scratch for a second straight game, with Sam Renzel stepping in.
Who are the key players to watch in the Blackhawks vs. Sharks matchup?
On defense, Oliver Moore centers the fourth line again alongside Landon Slager and Colton Dock, as coach Jeff Blasio eases him into an energy role. Players are fired up about facing the young, rising Sharks. They see it as a chance to chase down a team ahead of them in the standings and grab two big points.
Everyone's talking about Macklin Celebrini, the elite rookie who's already proving himself, with guys like Ryan Green drawing from old college. Practice memories to try shutting him down. With only two games left before the break, the team wants to build momentum for a reset.
Some players can't wait for time off to recharge with friends, while others, like Moore, love the daily grind and hate seeing the rink empty. Colton Dock hopes good vibes carry into the second half. Looking ahead to the Olympics, the guys plan to watch tons of hockey and other sports. They'll root hard for Canada and the USA, with some friendly bets in the mix. As for Blackhawk Tuvo Taravanen on Team Finland, they'll cheer his personal success, but hope he doesn't steal the show from their favorites. This story is shared with support from our sponsor.
