San Jose is one of the main outsiders of the league, but periodically they manage to create a miracle. So, relatively recently, the Sharks managed to stop Washington outside of regulation time, but on the eve of the game, no one was talking about a single point - 2:1 with OT. In the last duel the Sharks again managed to distinguish themselves. Again on the road, but already with St. Louis - 4:3. Thus, San Jose moved up to the 13th position in the West, with a total of 27 points in their piggy bank.

Utah is fighting for a place in the cup eight, but so far the results can not boast. Ahead of their 30th game, the Salt Lake City squad is in 11th place in the Western Conference standings, three points behind eighth-place Colorado. Success in the upcoming game could significantly improve the position of Andre Tourigny's wards. As for Utah's condition, they have earned points in their last four games with three wins and one loss outside of regulation time.

Here we suggest staying away from the outcomes. Despite the fact that Utah looked better during the season, San Jose knows how to surprise, and Washington and St. Louis can't lie. In addition, the Sharks will play in their own stands, which will give them a positive emotional charge. In our opinion, we should not expect a lot of goals in the upcoming game. Playing on their own ice in games against teams of equal class, the Sharks often play low-scoring game. They try to play defensive hockey to get two points. In general, on this basis, we suggest betting on the total under.
