New Jersey was a real eye-opener last season, as Lindy Ruff's young and aggressive wards had never made the playoffs. Not only did they make it to the Cup Final Eight, but they also made a lot of noise. It looked like they would continue their progression in the regular season, but it's more complex. They won six of the first nine meetings, but the problems started to mount. In the nine following meetings, the Devils lost seven times in regulation time and won twice. Fortunately, they beat Buffalo 7:2, the Islanders 5:4, and Philadelphia 4:3 in November and December to move up to 11th place in the Eastern Conference.

San Jose has not even dreamed of reaching the playoffs in recent years, and at the end of the current regular season, it is unlikely that we will see them in the Cup. The Sharks began the season with 11 straight defeats and only losses to Vancouver and Pittsburgh - 1:10 and 2:10. After that, they stopped looking hopeless, winning five of their next 12 games with seven losses - a significant improvement on their regular-season debut.

San Jose has been the NHL's biggest underdog this season. Since the beginning of the season, the Sharks have been losing to everyone, and while they have occasionally been able to get points at home, their record on the road has been nothing short of abysmal. The Californians have played ten away games, losing ten regulation games by a combined score of 6:42.

It is worth noting that San Jose attack could be more efficient on the road. In ten away games in the current regular season, the Californians have scored just six goals (0.60 average per game) - an absolute disaster! Furthermore, the Sharks have failed to score twice in any of those games.
