This is a desparate team. Sharks lost their first 2 games at home and now come to the United Center in Chicago with their playoff lives on the line. In the first 2 games San Jose has outshot the Hawks, but Niemmi has played tremendously well stopping all but 3 SOG.
Chicago has been a .500 team at home during the playoffs, going 3-3, while being outscored by 5 goals (14 for / 19 against).
A great team like San Jose who have the motivational and desparational edge at +130 odds? I'll take that all day long.
