San José is aiming for a new victory
5-0 victory against Ottawa Senators last was Sharks fifth victory on the last seven games. We find the 6th place in the Western Conference table with 16 wins on 28 played matches. Interestingly, all 14 (!) Of these winnings are collected during regular playing time. At homemais nine wins have been picked up on 16 games played, the last three home matches have resulted in victory. Do we have fourth straight home victory on G? Nice victory chances for Sharks if you ask me.
Overall, Sharks are a team I like sharply. Would actually like to claim that you are the opposite of Minnesota. Sharks have gone below the 5.5 line in 21 out of 28 games played this season, compared to Minnesota, for example, crossing the same line in 17 of 28 played matches. It’s actually no coincidence when Sharks released least goals of all teams throughout the series – 67 goals in 27 games played. Roughly impressive. A really stable and tough team that does not offer the smallest thumbs up in the defense game, at the same time, is offensive enough to hurt an extremely vulnerable Minnesota defense.
Minnesota blends and yields
Minnesota is one of the most difficult layers throughout the series. We find the team at a 12th place in the Western Conference table with 14 wins and 14 losses on 28 played matches. Three wins and three losses on the last six matches. Won two of the last three, but at overtime. Minnesota is a team that does a lot of goals – 83 goals ahead compared to San Jose, which only achieved 71 goals ahead. On the other hand, you have released 84 goals this season. It’s really no coincidence that the team has crossed the 5.5-line in 60% of the matches this season. A swinging team straight through, with lots of goal chances in both directions.
Intriguing is set against a stable San José, whose defensive is ranked as the strongest of the league. A rough tough challenge if you ask me. Game-like, this is a game that clearly favors the home team – it’s really no coincidence that Minnesota lost 11 of the 14 last sharks against the Sharks. On the move, Minnesota has lost nine out of 15 matches this season, of which eight losses under regular playing time. Think that the suite will get another thorn here. Jared Spurgeon, noted for three goals and 12 assist this season, is expected to miss the matches for the guests. Missed the last two weeks due to illness. Minnesota gets tough in the SAP Arena.
