San Jose Sharks vs Utah Prediction: Utah's ambitions are high

Prediction for the NHL San Jose Sharks vs Utah match which will take place on October 2nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

San Jose was simply awful last season, finishing bottom of the West. However, that is unlikely to change this season, as the Sharks have been unimpressive in the preseason. They kicked off with a 4:2 loss to Calgary, followed by a 4:3 defeat at the hands of Anaheim. The day before, San Jose finally got a 3:2 overtime victory over Anaheim.

Utah is a newcomer to the NHL. The club was formed based on Arizona, and the main goal for the first season was not to fail. Judging by the team's pre-season results, they have every chance of doing just that. Utah won their first two games - 5:3 over St Louis and 3:2 in overtime against Los Angeles. They then went on to lose 5:2 to Vegas but bounced back to win again the day before. This time, they beat Colorado 6:3.

San Jose hasn't shown much in their pre-season games. However, NHL newcomers Utah have been a delight to watch, with three wins in four games, all against different opponents. Clearly, their ambitions are high, and they're even stronger than the home team at the moment. We think the visitors will at least be able to hold their own against the Sharks after halftime.
