Cooley will be in the home crease versus Chicago on Saturday, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

It was thought that Mackenzie Blackwood would get the start, but coach David Quinn is giving Cooley his second career start -- both versus the Blackhawks. Cooley gave up four goals on 30 shots Sunday in a 5-2 loss to Chicago in his NHL debut. The Sharks are last in the NHL standings with 39 points, four back of the 31st-place Blackhawks.
