Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NHL match.
San Jose Sharks
The Sharks have taken points in 4 out of the last 5 games. In the second half of January the Sharks have turned 8.21% of the shots into goals in even strength, with 6.73% being their average this season. Maybe it doesn’t seem to be too much but there are only 2% between the worst team of the league and the 12th one in the list.
Seattle Kraken
The Kraken have scored more in the last three games compared to what used to be. Well, there’s an explanation. Besides the Blues, the Kraken have played against a team from the lower part of the table. Eberle and McCann have used this chance to take 5 points. They both have been playing worse than the fans expected this season. The future of the Kraken depends on the form of their leaders.
San Jose Sharks – Seattle Kraken prediction
The Sharks have won three games. But nothing’s changed globally. The Sharks are still awful. Besides, we need to remember how the previous head-to-head game ended. The Kraken beat the Sharks (7:1), letting their opponent make only 14 shots on goal.
I don’t believe that the Kraken will lose points in this game amidst the fight for the play-offs.
