San Jose Sharks vs New York Islanders Prediction: Bad Luck for the Sharks

Prediction for the NHL San Jose Sharks vs New York Islanders match which will take place on March 19th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

San Jose Sharks

The coaching change in the Sharks, and since this season ex-New York Rangers coach David Quinn heads the California team, has yet to show results in the short term. Long before the finish of the current regular season, San Jose lost all chances of getting into the playoffs. So it's unsurprising that it doesn't care about the results, failing everyone in a row. For example, in the last 15 matches, the Sharks have only one victory in regular time and 10 defeats within 60 minutes. In addition, San Jose has lost eight consecutive games on its ice.

New York Islanders

Unlike San Jose, the coaching change in the New York Islanders worked. Under the leadership of Lane Lambert, the Islanders have made some progress, especially in terms of playing offensively. They are joining the playoffs, being in eighth place in the summary standings of the Eastern Conference.

The match with San Jose will be the third for the Islanders in the away tour. At first, New York could not cope with Los Angeles (2:5) and then confidently beat Anaheim (6:3).

Expert Betting Tips

San Jose has almost yet to win in regular time for the past fifteen games. On the same stretch, the Islanders won seven times in regular time and lost three games within 60 minutes. At least five goals have been scored in the Islanders' last six games and six of the Sharks' last eight games.
