After watching Martin Brodeur become the new all-time shutouts leader on Monday night, what can the NHL do on Tuesday to top it?
How about a showdown between the San Jose Sharks and the Chicago Blackhawks with first place in the Western Conference on the line?
Indeed, the Sharks and Blackhawks will clash as part of Tuesday's three-game schedule with the action set to begin at 8 p.m. ET from the United Center. San Jose has won its last two games, while Chicago is aiming to complete its five-game homestand with a 5-0 record. The game can be seen on Versus in the U.S. and TSN2 and RDS in Canada.
Two hours later, the Colorado Avalanche will look to increase their lead in the Northwest Division as they take on the Anaheim Ducks at the Pepsi Center. Colorado (21-11-6) has won its last two games and has built a four-point lead on the Calgary Flames in the Northwest, while the inconsistent Ducks (14-14-7) are stuck in the Pacific Division basement.
In the final game of the night, the Vancouver Canucks host the Nashville Predators at 10:30 p.m. ET. The Preds have won four in a row and enter Tuesday's action just two points back of Chicago in the Central Division. The Canucks have won 14 of 20 on home ice and are four points back of the second-place Flames in the Northwest.
