League: NHL – United States of America

Last 10 matches: Blackhawks 8-1-1; Sharks 6-3-1
Hossa picked the right opponent for his debut as a Hawk. The highly sought-after sniper scored 40 goals and tallied 31 assists in 74 games with Detroit last season and seven of those points came in the Wings’ four games against San Jose.With Hossa’s debut, the only missing pieces for the Hawks are Adam Burish, who has yet to play this year after knee surgery, and Dave Bolland, who is out following back surgery. San Jose is without Rob Blake and Devin Setoguchi, who are both on IR, while Brad Staubitz and Jody Shelley are listed as questionable.
The Hawks lead the season series 1-0 after closing out their recent homestand with a 4-3 overtime win against the Sharks on Nov. 15. Brent Seabrook’s game-winning goal 41 seconds into extra time capped Chicago’s comeback from a 3-1 deficit.
San Jose is hot, but the Hawks are even hotter. As they enter the second week of their “Circus Trip,” the Blackhawks are riding a seven-game losing streak that includes a three-game sweep through Western Canada.
But perhaps most important for Chicago is the expected season debut of the off-season’s biggest catch Marian Hossa. After inking a 12-year, $62.8 million contract in July, Hossa had shoulder surgery that has kept him on the sidelines. With Hossa in the lineup, Chicago’s offense already sixth in the League in goals per game is likely to be even more dangerous. Highlights and results will be available soon.. stay with us.
