The legendary Penguins are still in the game. Last year's playoffs proved that the team came close to defeating the New York Islanders. This season shows it as well. They had a lot of victories at the beginning of the championship, and with Sidney Crosby, who returned from injury, their team has been playing top-level hockey. Mike Sullivan's team has a winning streak of 7 games in a row, 6 of which have been won during regular time.
Pittsburgh played their last game before the Covid break. On the road, the Penguins defeated New Jersey with a score of 3:2.
San Jose Sharks
Unlike Pittsburgh, Bob Bugner's team had already played two games after the championship break. First, the Sharks managed an impressive penalty shootout against Arizona (8:7). Then, they broke the resistance of Philadelphia (3:2 in overtime). The Sharks played both games at home.
In total, San Jose had 17 wins in 32 games. The Californians are in ninth place in the Western Conference standings.
Expert Betting Tips:
Pittsburgh won't rely on several key players for the upcoming game. One of them appears to be Tristan Jarry, the primary goaltender. However, the leading players are Sidney Crosby and head coach Mike Sullivan. San Jose didn't perform their best against both Arizona and Philadelphia and will hardly count on more than 1 point against the Penguins.
Prediction: the Penguins will be closer to a win.
