Sharks face the rested Blackhawks in a back-to-back situation (as usual?).

Guessing Niemi will get the start after Stalock played Saturday.  Crawford seems to be the starter for Chicago.

Chicago has played a bit sloppy of late (4-5-1 in last 10) and dropped their last game, and lost Patrick Sharp (for weeks) to injury.

Update from Saturday:  Stars’ Roussel is scheduled to have hearing Monday for late game actions.
