San Jose Sharks vs Los Angeles Kings: Expect a productive outcome to the match

Prediction for the NHL San Jose Sharks vs Los Angeles Kings match, which will take place on January 18. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

San Jose has been extremely unlucky in its last two games. First, they lost to the Rangers, conceding three unanswered pucks, and then failed to Pittsburgh in overtime. However, this losing streak did not affect the Sharks' position in the Pacific Division table. They are currently sitting in the playoff zone, with a two-point lead over bottom-seeded Calgary. 

The Kings are in great form. They've been winning for four games now, 16:4 overall. They average precisely four goals per game while conceding one. That's a fantastic result. As a result, they moved into second place in the Pacific Division with 45 points. The Kings cannot lose, as they are just three points away from relegated Vegas.

The recent games between these teams are not particularly productive, and we are well aware of that. However, we're expecting a total over because both opponents don't want to lose points now, and they're playing on the same level. Overall, we suggest betting on a standard Total Over. Prediction: Total over (5.5).
