Colorado Avalanche vs San Jose Sharks Prediction: Will the Sharks beat the home team?

Prediction for the NHL Colorado Avalanche vs San Jose Sharks match, which will take place on March 8. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Colorado has improved throughout the current campaign, allowing them to move up into the playoff zone in the West. The team is eighth in the conference standings and fourth in the Central Division with 74 points ahead of the game. That means they're in the playoff zone but still on edge. After a gorgeous streak of six straight wins, Colorado unexpectedly lost in three meetings. First, they lost 5:7 to New Jersey, then 3:7 to Dallas, and 2:3 to Seattle in overtime the day before.

If Colorado still has a playoff battle ahead of them, they'll have a playoff run. San Jose is looking forward to the end of the regular season, sitting in 15th place in the Western Conference standings and last in the Pacific standings. Considering that the team has only 50 points, that's not surprising. Before the last meeting, the Sharks had a streak of five losses in a row, but they unexpectedly crushed Winnipeg in overtime with a score of 3:2.

We favor Colorado in the upcoming meeting. Even though the Avalanche lost their last three games, they are much better than San Jose. The home team is actively fighting for the playoffs, and now they need to pull together as a matter of urgency in order not to miss it. The visitors don't have any tournament motivation, and in the previous ten games, they have only been stronger twice. In general, we offer a bet on the victory of the Avalanche.
