Sharp has been sidelined since Nov. 4, when he had to be helped off the ice during the Hawks' 5-0 victory over the Canadiens in Montreal. Coach Joel Quenneville said Sharp's status is still day to day, but the team will have a better assessment of his return to the lineup "over the next day or so." It's possible Sharp could play against the Canadiens on Friday at the United Centre or in Nashville against the Predators on Saturday.
