This is rare to get the Blackhawks at this price against a team that is far from automatic at home. Chicago is playing well after a slow start going 13-5 in its last 18 games, including going 8-2 during the past 10 games.

The Blackhawks have a winning road mark, too. San Jose had a losing record at home last season. The Sharks can't be trusted laying a big price like this at home. Chicago has much the stronger offense. Chicago is 4-2 in its last six games versus San Jose.

This really comes down to the Sharks' tough defense against the Blackhawks more powerful attack. The value lies with Chicago.
