San Jose Sharks vs Florida Panthers Prediction: Expect a high level of goal-scoring activity

Prediction for the NHL San Jose Sharks vs Florida Panthers match, which will take place on November 4. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

San Jose is one of the NHL underdogs of recent years and is unlikely to be in playoff contention this season. Already in their games in Prague, the Sharks showed their low level of ambition by losing twice to Nashville, 1:4 and 2:3. Since then, they've lost three more in a row, and in the next seven games, the Californians, though struggling for a point, have won only three times. David Quinn still has a lot of work to do to improve. Meanwhile, they are sitting in 14th place in the Western Conference standings.

Florida is the strongest team in the NHL following the results of the last regular season; that's why they got the deserved Cup. The Panthers would love to repeat their success in the future. Already in the opening stages of the new season, the Southern side's results were already on the decline, and Paul Maurice has not yet been able to lead his side to a long winning streak. In their ten games, Florida has only five wins and five losses, leaving them in 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

San Jose and Florida are currently out of the playoff spot, but that doesn't mean their opponents have a comparable skill level or ambition. Of course, the Panthers are a much better team, with a balanced and experienced roster that can compete for the most significant challenges. The Sharks can't boast anything like that and have lost their last six head-to-head encounters. As a result, a bet on the victory of Florida with odds of about 1.75 is in order.

We have every reason to expect high-scoring activity from the upcoming confrontation. In the last six head-to-head encounters, the opponents have scored 42 goals against each other (7.00 goals per game average). In the current regular season, San Jose and Florida have severe problems with defense, but the offense is good, so the best option for the prediction seems to be a total over 6.5 pucks at odds close to 1.90. In addition, Sam Reinhart's total over 0.5 at 1.72 is worth considering.
