San Jose Sharks vs. Vegas Golden Knights Predictions
The Golden Knights have been dominant this season, boasting the biggest spread of the season and setting a franchise record. Their offensive prowess is led by center William Karlsson, who leads the team in goals (7) and assists (9). However, they are coming off their first regulation home loss against the Los Angeles Kings and will be looking to bounce back. They will be without second-line center Chandler Stephenson due to an upper-body injury, which could impact their offensive production.
On the other side, the Sharks have had a rough start to the season, tying the record for the longest losing streak to start a season. However, they managed to secure their first two wins of the season against the Philadelphia Flyers and the Edmonton Oilers. Their recent victory over the Oilers was a surprise, considering the Oilers were a -340 favorite. The Sharks’ offense is led by center Tomas Hertl, who has 9 points so far this season. Goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood has also been instrumental in their recent wins, stopping a combined 77 of 80 shots.
The Golden Knights have been the stronger team in recent matchups, winning three out of the last five games against the Sharks. However, the Sharks’ recent wins could provide them with the momentum they need to challenge the Golden Knights. With the Golden Knights’ strong offense and the Sharks’ improving defense, this game could be a closely contested battle. The key matchup to watch will be the Golden Knights’ offense against the Sharks’ defense, particularly how the Sharks manage to contain Karlsson.
San Jose Sharks vs. Vegas Golden Knights Pick
Given the recent performances of both teams, the ‘Over’ seems to be the most likely outcome for this game. The Golden Knights have been showcasing their offensive prowess this season, with William Karlsson leading the charge. Despite the absence of Chandler Stephenson, the Golden Knights have enough depth in their roster to maintain their offensive production. They have also shown a tendency to score high in their games, contributing to the likelihood of a high total score.
On the other hand, the Sharks have shown signs of improvement in their recent games, securing their first two wins of the season. Their offense, led by Tomas Hertl, has been performing well, and their goaltender, Mackenzie Blackwood, has been instrumental in their recent victories. Considering these factors, along with the historic head-to-head data that shows a tendency for the total score to go over the set line, the ‘Over’ seems to be the most probable outcome for this game.
