Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 8. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Of course, no one is betting on San Jose this season, and no one expects miracles from them. The team is quite modest in terms of resources, and even the playoffs do not smell at all. That said, there are no questions about coach Ryan Warsofsky - he has no stars at his disposal. As a result, the Sharks have only 13 wins in 42 games, and with 32 points they are in 15th position in the Western Conference standings. However, San Jose had two great games the day before - after eight straight losses, they beat Tampa Bay (2:1) and New Jersey (3:2).

If we talk about Vegas, his season is developing in a classy way. We can safely say that the Golden Knights are the most stable guys in the current NHL campaign. The team has not had a single long stretch of losses and misfires so far. Here and for the past nine matches the Knights have formalized at once eight victories. In 2025, they have already managed to beat Philadelphia with a score of 5:2 and also Buffalo (3:1). In the overall Western Conference table, Vegas leads with 57 points in the asset.

In the upcoming meeting, we believe in the success of Vegas. The Golden Knights show gorgeous hockey in this campaign, extremely rarely losing points. The team is good, and eight defeats in the past nine games speak for themselves. The Knights have already dealt with the Sharks twice in the current campaign, winning 7:3 and 6:3. We think that we should not expect miracles now, so we do not make up anything, betting on a clean win for the guests.
