Sharks vs. Hurricanes Game Preview
The Hurricanes have had a mixed start to the season, splitting their first eight games. Despite this, they have shown signs of promise, particularly in their recent victory against the Seattle Kraken. The team’s performance has been bolstered by the efforts of Jesperi Kotkaniemi, who leads the team with four goals, and Martin Necas, who tops the team’s points tally with nine. However, the Hurricanes have been plagued by injuries, with key players like Brett Pesce and Andrei Svechnikov currently sidelined.
On the other side, the Sharks have had a dismal start to the season, losing all seven of their games so far. Their offense has been particularly lackluster, with Fabian Zetterlund leading the team with just two goals. Tomas Hertl, who leads the team with four assists and five points, has been one of the few bright spots for the Sharks. However, the team’s defense has been a major concern, with the Sharks currently ranking last in the league in goals against.
The game is likely to be a battle of the Hurricanes’ offense against the Sharks’ defense. If the Sharks can tighten up their defense and limit the Hurricanes’ scoring opportunities, they might have a chance to secure their first win of the season. However, if the Hurricanes’ offense continues to fire on all cylinders, it could be a long night for the Sharks.
Sharks vs. Hurricanes Predictions
Given the recent trends and current form of both teams, the ‘Under’ pick seems to be the most logical choice for this game. The Sharks have been struggling offensively, scoring just eight goals in their first seven games. Their leading goal scorer, Fabian Zetterlund, has only managed to find the back of the net twice. This lack of offensive firepower, coupled with the Sharks’ defensive woes, suggests that they might struggle to contribute significantly to the total score in this game.
On the other hand, the Hurricanes have been performing well offensively, but they have also been hit by injuries to key players like Brett Pesce and Andrei Svechnikov. This could potentially impact their offensive output. Furthermore, the historic head-to-head data between these two teams indicates that the total score has gone under the closing over-under line once in their last three encounters. Given these factors, it seems likely that the total score in this game will fall under the set line of 6.0.
The Pick: Under 6.0 -105 (BetMGM)
