After finishing January with a losing streak, the Chicago Blackhawks hope to begin February with a positive result on Monday against the San Jose Sharks at the United Center.
The Blackhawks had a disappointing finish to January after picking up several impressive results earlier in the month, including victories over two divisional leaders, the Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes. The team needs to sort out its defense to start winning again, having allowed 21 goals over the past five games.
Chicago’s offense has struggled, too, ranking sixth from the bottom in goals averaged. Still, they have Connor Bedard up front, who can make something happen at any moment. The young centerman has put up 52 points (22 goals, 30 assists) in 42 games this season.
It’s a fascinating clash between the future stars of the NHL at the United Center, with Macklin Celebrini paying a visit to Bedard. Celebrini has taken a huge sophomore leap, recording 27 goals and 79 points in 53 games, sitting fourth in the league in scoring.
This will be just the second time Bedard and Celebrini play against each other. In their first meeting last March, Celebrini had an assist and helped his team to a 4-2 win on home ice. Bedard finished scoreless and didn’t even get a shot on goal in that game.

Our Chicago Blackhawks vs San Jose Sharks Prediction
After being outplayed in their first head-to-head clash against Celebrini, Bedard must be fired up to lead his squad to victory on Monday night. However, Celebrini has a better team around him, and the Sharks have enjoyed better form lately.
Following back-to-back defeats to Edmonton and Calgary, San Jose will be motivated to get back on track. The team has previously shown a superb ability to bounce back from setbacks, as this is the first time the Sharks have suffered two consecutive defeats since the holiday break.
Our prediction for Chicago Blackhawks vs. San Jose Sharks: Sharks to win.
