The San Jose Sharks beat the Predators, lost to the Canucks, and play the Jets next. The Sharks have lost 4 of their last 6 games.
The San Jose Sharks are averaging 3.01 goals per game and are scoring 20.9 percent of their power play opportunities. Macklin Celebrini leads San Jose with 44 goals, Alexander Wennberg has 37 assists and Tyler Toffoli has 172 shots on goal. Defensively, the San Jose Sharks are allowing 3.55 goals per game and are killing 75.8 percent of their opponent’s power plays.

A completely meaningless game where it can be tough to find an edge. Matchups like this, you should probably be waiting for the postseason instead of getting involved in this mess. With that said, the Sharks have been easily the better side and were in the playoff race just a week ago.
The Sharks beat the Blackhawks last week as well and have won 3 of the last 4 games against them overall. The price is cheap, so give me the better team. However, personally, I’d lay off the NHL until games matter again. These games with no stakes are complete toss-ups.
