Nabokov, Sharks look to end slide vs. Blackhawks

Jan 22, 2008 - 4:16 PM Chicago (23-21-4) at San Jose (25-15-7) 10:30 pm EST

SAN JOSE, California (Ticker) -- Maybe rest wasn't a good thing for San Jose Sharks goaltender Evgeni Nabokov.

The Sharks look to snap a four-game losing streak on Tuesday, when they host the Chicago Blackhawks.

San Jose's slide began when they finally decided to give Nabokov a day off after he made 43 consecutive starts this season. Rookie netminder Thomas Greiss lost his first career start in overtime and Nabokov has not looked the same in the three games since.

Nabokov, who leads the league with 25 wins, has surrendered 15 goals over the past three contests. The Russian netminder has posted a 2.19 goals-against average and five shutouts this season.

The Blackhawks have been energized by Patrick Lalime's stellar play in net and rookie Patrick Kane's success in the shootout.

Lalime has led Chicago to four straight victories, including three shootout wins.

Kane, who is a leading candidate for the Calder Trophy, has tallied in each of those shootouts and leads all rookies with 33 assists and 45 points.
