Sharp Finaly Nets 26th

Patrick Sharp finally scored his 26th goal of the season in Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Wild. After reaching the quarter-century mark on January 9, he would go goalless in the next 5 games before finally netting number 26.

It's almost as if he got to 25 and then decided to call it a year.

Sharp leads the Blackhawks--and is 5th overall league-wide--in goals. He was also selected to play in the All-Star Game for the first time in his career.

Once Sharp cooled off from the beginning of the season, he's become more or less of a streaky player--3 goals in 3 games here, followed by no goals in 3 (or 4 or 5) games.

Hopefully, hanging with other All-Stars this weekend will help him regain the awesome scoring touch that he had at the beginning of the season.
