Blackhawks Were Sellers At Deadline
Have the Chicago Blackhawks (27-28-8) pulled the plug on their playoff hopes? The last-place team in the Central Division was a seller at Monday’s NHL trade deadline. The San Jose Sharks (34-21-9), on the other hand, are second in the Pacific. They’ve bolstered their lineup ahead of Thursday’s matchup with the visiting Blackhawks. The Puck drops at 10:30 PM ET on WGN and NBCSN. Oddsmakers have the Sharks as -155 moneyline favorites. The total is at 5.5. Bet on hockey at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus. Chicago did quite well at the deadline. They sent RW Ryan Hartman (eight goals, 17 assists in 53 games) to the Nashville Predators. The club attained a first-round pick. The Hawks also shipped RW Tommy Wingels (seven goals, five assists in 57 games) to the Boston Bruins. They landed a fifth-round pick. They waived LW Lance Bouma (three goals, six assists). Depth might be an issue this Thursday night. The Sharks sent a conditional first-round pick to the Buffalo Sabres. This was part of the deal for top-line LW Evander Kane (20 goals, 20 assists). It was a small price to pay in the long run most likely. Kane is in a prolonged slump, scoring just five goals and an assist since January 1. He’ll also be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.Recent Form
