Head down to the comments to talk about Monday’s game against the Sharks! Game Preview
The San Jose Sharks host the Chicago Blackhawks tonight and the Sharks most definitely need a win against a team that’s out of the playoff race, especially if the Sharks want to stay in the race.

It was quite the shock on Easter Sunday, when the New York Islanders pulled a rabbit (Easter bunny?) out of their hat, and replaced head coach Patrick Roy with longtime bench boss veteran Pete DeBoer. With only four games to play, the Islanders will have to make up a one-point deficit to get back into playoff positioning, either in the Metropolitan Division or a Wild Card spot. And with DeBoer reporting for his first day on the job on Monday, he opened up about the stunning t...

The Mariners head to the Lone Star State in their attempt to bounce back from losing two very winnable games in a row.
