The Chicago Blackhawks snapped a five-game losing streak with a 6-3 win over the San Jose Sharks at the United Center on Monday.
The Blackhawks struck first on the power play seven minutes into the opening period. From the slot, Teuvo Teravainen found Connor Bedard, who ripped a sharp-angle one-timer from the bottom of the left faceoff circle to put the Blackhawks up 1-0.

Remember when the Blackhawks couldn’t score on the power play? And went 0-for-26 over what felt like a calendar year between scores while skating with the advantage? The one stat that stood out most in the first period was… one — the number of goals the Blackhawks scored? No. The number of shots on net the Sharks had in 20 minutes.
At 10:36 into the second period, Yaroslav Askarov skated to the bench in defeat. The Blackhawks had a stunning 4-0 lead on 10 shots on net, and the Sharks were...

Game Preview
The San Jose Sharks are looking for redemption tonight after putting up a subpar effort in Calgary just a few nights ago. The Sharks are in Chicago visiting the Blackhawks for stop number three on the road trip. It doesn’t get easier from here, so this really feels like a game that the Sharks need to win.
This is the first of three meetings between the Sharks and the Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks are probably out of the playoffs with a 21-25-9 record and just 51 points, the Blackhawks a...
The Chicago Blackhawks host the San Jose Sharks on Monday night for their final home game before the Olympic break.
The Sharks are currently sitting just three points outside a playoff position with two games in hand, which on the surface, looks like a massive step forward from last season, when they finished dead last in the NHL. Dig a little deeper, though, and the underlying numbers suggest the progress isn’t quite as dramatic as the standings imply. San Jose still ranks last in the le...
The Blackhawks host their final home game before the Olympic break, and it should be a fun one! The San Jose Sharks are in town, giving us a matchup of two of the emerging superstars in the NHL. There should be plenty of motivation for the Blackhawks to give their home fans a better showing than their last few games. And the Sharks are fighting for a wild card berth.

Really good read from this weekend from Ben Pope at the Chicago Sun-Times looking at the current directions of the front offices in Chicago and San Jose. The Blackhawks and Sharks play Monday night, so I thought it was worth both a bump and some additional discussion.
The parallels between the Blackhawks and Sharks run deep. Both Mike Grier and Kyle Davidson were named the permanent general managers of their respective clubs in 2022. And, as Pope writes, both teams went with the burn-it-d...

With a chance at redemption after a blown 3-0 lead in neighboring Edmonton, the Sharks stumbled once again against the Calgary Flames. Two points lost to a Calgary team that’s struggled to win this season feel like a bit more than that, considering how tight the Western Conference playoff race has become, but the Sharks will have to move on and find a way to salvage more points out of this road trip.
Will Smith got the game going early for San Jose with a power play goal, his fourth in th...
The Edmonton Oilers are coming off one of the wildest wins of the season, but tonight feels like a very different test. On their 10th try, the Oilers finally strung together three straight wins with that absurd 4-3 overtime comeback against the Sharks on Thursday, and while two points are two points, the way they…
The New York Rangers have added some depth to their blueline as the team announced they've claimed defenceman Vincent Iorio off waivers from the San Jose Sharks. Iorio was waived by the Sharks on Friday, and now finds a new home on a struggling Rangers roster. GM Chris Drury has been busy working the phones trying to move Artemi Panarin, and there's been rumblings Vincent Trocheck and Alexis Lafreniere are always in play. Iorio has appeared in 21 games for the Sharks this season, and has...
So far, the San Jose Sharks’ road trip is going okay. The team would have liked to get that extra point in Central Alberta, but three out of four potential points is a good way to start things off. This afternoon, the Sharks have a chance to make some headway in the playoff race with a win over the Calgary Flames. While it’s a bit early to be standings watching, here’s where the Sharks stand as of this morning.
While San Jose is outside looking in, today is one of those games in hand...
The San Jose Sharks have been rebuilding for a number of years now and they have built enough to be in the running for the playoffs this season. This isn't without struggles and the team definitely needs more to be able to compete, but it's a good start. For a couple of these latest rebuilding years, Mario Ferraro was a defenseman that has received plenty of interest, but now is in the final year of his deal set to become a UFA and the Sharks could use him. David Pagnotta said, "Mario Ferraro'...

It’s Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today’s podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers’ win over the Sharks, the Bobby McMann trade rumours, Connor McDavid’s heater, line combos, and more. We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR…
The Edmonton Oilers were not good during the Decade of Darkness. Aside from being in the playoff conversation in 2007-08 and 2012-13 (mainly because of the lockout), the Oilers were almost always at the bottom of the league. From 2006-07 until 2015-16, the Oilers didn’t make the playoffs once, hence the nickname the “Decade of…
The San Jose Sharks could not have asked for a better start in Edmonton. Less than two minutes into the game, the team jumped out to a two-goal lead against the Edmonton Oilers, with Collin Graf getting the first point on the board just 26 seconds into the game and Adam Gaudette adding a second one 1:11 later. A Michael Misa goal midway through the first period put the Sharks up 3-0 and with a comfortable lead, the team was in good shape.
Knowing its opponent, San Jose was not content to ...
The tenth time’s the charm. With a 4-3 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, the Edmonton Oilers finally put together their first three-game winning streak of the 2025-26 season. They had won back-to-back games nine times earlier this year, only to watch each potential heater stall in the third game. For a…
It’s wild to think that we’re in late January and still in the hunt for the Oilers’ first three-game win streak of the season. I don’t know why they haven’t been able to do it, but it’s a story that came up once again ahead of Thursday’s matchup with the San Jose Sharks. This was…
The Edmonton Oilers have finally done it! On Thursday evening, the Oilers hosted the San Jose Sharks for the sixth game on their eight-game home stand. Coming into the game, the Oilers had nine previous attempts to win three straight games, failing each time. This time was different, though, as they overcame a 3-0 deficit…

The San Jose Sharks are in Alberta today for the first of two matchups against the Canadian teams there. The Sharks play the first of this season’s games against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are 27-19-8 this season, but only 5-3-2 in the team’s last 10 games. Still, it’s good enough for second in the Pacific Division, just one point back from the Vegas Golden Knights, who sit in first. At the same time, the Sharks are five points back of the Oilers with three games in hand; a win tonight co...
Whether or not Edmonton Oilers defenceman Mattias Ekholm is in the lineup Thursday night against the San Jose Sharks wasn’t revealed when the team took to the ice in the morning. Ekholm, fresh off his first career hat trick Monday night against the Anaheim Ducks, was absent from practice Wednesday, dealing with an undisclosed injury…
The Winnipeg Jets began their road trip with a win in New Jersey, but the competition will get more difficult in the second stop when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning. The True North victory didn’t result in our club gaining any ground in the wildcard race, as the San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, & Seattle Kraken all won on Tuesday too. Therefore the Jets were in the 4th worst slot in the NHL team points percentage until the New York Rangers dropped another contest last night, leaving Win...
