San Jose vs Vegas Prediction: the Sharks Cannot Beat the Knights

Prediction for the NHL San Jose vs Vegas match, which will take place on October 26. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

San Jose

San Jose has been one of the outsiders in the NHL in recent years, which has shown promising results for a while, but engaging in a fight for the playoffs is impossible. Also, in the regular season, the Sharks debuted poorly, suffering five losses in a row in the main time for the total difference of pucks - 8-19. Gradually, however, David Quinn's team began to gain points. First, he defeated his former club, the Rangers, 3-2. Then there was a setback in the game with New Jersey - 1-2. But the day before, they suddenly beat Philadelphia, which gained a good run - 3-0.

Vegas

Vegas embarrassed themselves last season by missing the playoffs for the first time in their history. All of this caused the firing of the head coach in favor of the experienced Bruce Cassidy. Under him, the Knights had great test games and their first official games, beating Los Angeles 4-3, Chicago 1-0, and Seattle 5-2. The Black and Golds could not extend their winning streak: a 2-3 loss to Calgary, a 5-2 win over Winnipeg, a 2-3 defeat of Colorado, and a 3-1 victory over Toronto. 

Expert Betting Tips

Vegas is one of the youngest teams in the league, but in a few years, they have already acquired a major rival. This is San Jose, as in the early days of their head-to-head encounter, they repeatedly fought in the playoffs. After that, the Sharks experienced a crisis, so the Knights won 11 of the last 12 face-to-face meetings. In the opening game of the current season, Bruce Cassidy's team looks significantly better.

We should expect a limited amount of scoring activity. Both squads began the season with little fun, often producing TU results. In just seven meetings with Vegas, 36 goals were scored (5.14 average), while San Jose shot 38 goals (4.75) over eight games. Both are very low for the NHL.
