San Jose at Chicago

April 15, 2026
img8:30 PM Eastern

San Jose beat the Blackhawks 3-2 on April 6, and the Sharks come into this game off a 3-2 win over Nashville, which was huge because it ended a 15-game losing streak against the Predators. Macklin Celebrini scored twice in the third period, including an empty-netter with 1:45 remaining for San Jose. The Sharks have gone OVER six of eight versus the Western Conference and six of nine overall. Chicago has lost nine of its last ten and was booed off the ice by its home fans after a 5-1 defeat against Buffalo on Monday. The Blackhawks have allowed 17 goals in three games, and they have lost seven straight at home. Chicago goalie Spencer Knight has lost his past eight starts, and he has allowed 12 goals on 48 shots in his last two games. At this point in the season, it's hard to see Chicago rallying hard enough to beat this vibrant San Jose lineup. Take the Sharks to win, and bet the game OVER.
