San Jose can play on the road (league-best 28-11 mark), but right now Chicago is hot having won 10 of their last 14. They are off three straight wins, the last a very impressive 3-0 win over Anaheim. Chicago's defense at home is nearly as good as San Jose's and they can score more than can the Sharks. Over their last five games, the Blackhawks have won by an average score of 3.2 to 2.0. Chicago is 18-13 this season vs. winning teams and they have a .500 record as an underdog. THey are revenging a road loss and they are 10-5 in that situation this year.
