Watch Chicago Blackhawks vs. San Jose Sharks Live Stream Online. The flaming Blackhawks center Dave Bolland has turned into a real hassle for the San Jose Sharks during the clash of the top two seeds in the West. He has been making it complicated for San Jose’s top line, contributing to Chicago’s 2-0 lead in their Western Conference finals matchup with Game 3 of the NHL Western Conference Finals this evening at the United Center.
Bolland, who is often set aside off the ice, can be terrier-like on the ice, pinching at the heels and making forward movement difficult. He considers it an opportunity to play against a top line and whatever he can do to upset is what he’s aiming for. And now he’s playing his best hockey at the most significant time.
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville is anticipated to match the line of Bolland, Kris Versteeg and Andrew Ladd against Joe Thornton’s line, which has also included Patrick Marleau and Dany Heatley.
Coach Todd McLellan recognized Thursday he might do some combination and changing of his own to try and break up the Sharks’ offense. It could still get nearer to finding a way to crack the Blackhawks’ checking line led by Bolland.
If the Blackhawks have slowed San Jose’s top line— Patrick Marleau had both goals for the Sharks in Game 2—San Jose’s second line featuring Joe Pavelski has been even hushed. Pavelski has nine goals and six assists entering the series, but his line was scoreless in the first two games.
“We’ve been cold here the last few games. We’ve got to keep getting opportunities. It’s all about the finish now,” Pavelski said. We don’t want to go down 3-0. History tells you that. It will be important to get off to a good start. We got to find a way to win.”
