The Chicago Blackhawks (17-8-4) will take on the San Jose Sharks (15-9-1) at United Center on Sunday night. The Hawks are coming off a 3-2 OT win on Long Island on Thursday night. They will be taking on a Sharks team that is an impressive 7-3-0 on the road. The Sharks beat the Hawks 1-0 in San Jose in November in a game the Hawks played very well in but couldn’t get any pucks past former goalie Anti Niemi. This will be the second of four meetings this season with the Sharks. The Hawks and Sharks split two meetings at United Center last season. The always dangerous Joe Thornton leads the Sharks with 23 points and Joe Pavelski leads the way for San Jose with 12 goals. The Sharks will play at St. Louis on Saturday night before heading to Chicago. Jonathan Toews leads the Hawks with 17 goals and 32 points and Patrick Sharp, who had 2 goals and 1 assist Thursday night and is a proud new Dad, is up to 15 goals on the year. Ray Emery will start again in goal for the Hawks in place of the struggling Corey Crawford.
