Sports betting calendar: NHL, NBA All Star Game odds, preview

The Chicago Blackhawks still haven’t lost a game in regulation with a 10-0-3 record to start off the season, and will look to keep that streak alive when they face the San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings this weekend.

Ranking second in the NHL on offense (3.3 goals per game) and fourth in the league on defense (allowing 1.9 goals per game), the Blackhawks have looked nearly invincible to this point in the season.

Friday night, they host the San Jose Sharks (7-3-3), who are 0-3-3 in February after going 7-0 in January. Then Sunday the Blackhawks host the Los Angeles Kings (4-5-2), who they defeated 5-2 in each team’s season opener back in January. [ NHL odds ]
