Well, the Sharks have been struggling on home ice recently, going 2-3, with an average of just 0.8 goals per game - not exactly lighting the lamp regularly. On the flip side, the Blackhawks have been flying high, boasting a 4-1 record on the road. Plus, they've got a solid defensive record, keeping the Sharks to an average of just 0.4 goals in their last 5 meetings.

As the Sharks prepare to take on the Blackhawks on home ice, all eyes are on Macklin Celebrini. This Sharks sharpshooter has been nothing short of impressive, especially at the Shark Tank. Over his last five home games, he's averaged 0.6 goals and a whopping 5.8 shots. This tells us that not only is Celebrini finding the back of the net, he's consistently putting himself in scoring positions. While his overall average is slightly lower at 0.4 goals, he's still taking 4.8 shots per game. And he's been effective. Out of his last eight games, he's scored in five. Even more impressive? He's hit the mark in three out of his last four home appearances. Sure, Celebrini's current home hit streak may be at zero, but given his recent hot hand at home, we're backing him to score anytime against the Blackhawks. This shark smells blood, and we're betting on him
