Quick Preview

This is the final game of the season for both clubs. The rebuilding Blackhawks will give significant minutes to young players, including Connor Bedard, Artyom Levshunov, Kevin Korchinski, and Anton Frondell, as they wrap up a developmental year. Entering the game losing three straight at home, the Blackhawks will look to end their season on a high note. The Sharks, who narrowly missed the playoffs by just six points, will also wrap up their season having taken a big step forward in their own rebuild.

Gates at the United Center open at 6:00 p.m. CT.
