San Jose Sharks vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Monday, 02/02/26

Macklin Celebrini and the San Jose Sharks take on Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks in what should be an excellent matchup in the NHL. These Western Conference foes have yet to meet this season, and with 2 young and exciting rosters, we should be in for an excellent game. Here is a Sharks vs Blackhawks prediction.

San Jose has been gunning to make the playoffs against many expectations, but a bit of inconsistency has prevented it from gaining traction. While the Sharks have lost their last two games, they have been inches away from better outcomes — their 0-1-1 run came with a pair of 1-goal losses. If anything, I expect those results to light a fire under them and drive them to success in this game. Chicago has looked far worse and is carrying no momentum, as it is 0-3-2 in its last 5 games. They have scored just nine goals over that span, which has been an issue for them all season. They score at the sixth-lowest rate (2.64 per game). Both teams are relatively healthy, but San Jose brings more firepower to this matchup. Being just 2 points from a playoff spot, they have a ton for which to play. For this Sharks vs Blackhawks prediction, I’m backing San Jose on the money line.
