San Jose vs Seattle Prediction: the Sharks lost Their Teeth

Prediction for the NHL San Jose Sharks vs Seattle Kraken match, which will take place on March 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

San Jose

San Jose is having another poor season without any serious aims. Initially, their management noted that they were ready to sell the leaders, continuing the personnel restructuring. As a result, the team suffered just one significant loss - Timo Meier, who left for New Jersey. He was helping to get a result, but now their strategy has completely fallen apart. David Quinn's men suffered nine losses in their last ten games, beating only Winnipeg 3-2 and dropping to last place in the Western Conference.

Seattle

Seattle has their only second season in the NHL. The debut one was unsuccessful. Then gradually, they gradually improved and got used to the league, claiming a playoff appearance. They played the first half of the regular season skillfully, reaching the top 4. But then their performance declined. Nevertheless, in March, Dave Hakstol's team had a 5-match winning streak, but in the next three games, they lost to Ottawa - 4-5 and twice to Dallas, 3-4 and 2-5. Seattle sits seventh in the Western Conference.

Expect Betting Tips

San Jose is a major Western underdog, lately failing with one loss after another. The Sharks won only once on the road in their ten previous meetings, but they've lost seven straight at home. Of course, the Kraken should take advantage of that as they continue to fight for a playoff spot. In addition, they've played well on the road, winning their last four away games. Now Dave Hakstol's team is the favorite to win this game.

San Jose has been losing at home and overall as well. In their seven meetings at the SAP Center, the Californians conceded 38 goals (5.43 average per game). The Kraken has a pretty good offense to take advantage of the Sharks' utter disarray on defense. So we expect the visitors to be productive at the gate.
