Vegas vs San Jose Prediction: the Knights are on a Higher Level

Prediction for the NHL Vegas Golden Knights vs San Jose Sharks match, which will take place on February 17th. The Golden Knights noticeably outclass the Sharks. Can the hosts take advantage of the situation and earn two points? Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Vegas

Vegas has gained six points out of a possible six in their last three games. First, they defeated Nashville 5-1, then Minnesota (5-1), and lastly, Anaheim (7-2). Of course, this winning streak positively impacted the team's position in the Pacific Division standings. The Golden Knights have taken the lead, but the advantage over second Los Angeles is insignificant. At the moment, the difference between the opponents is one point.

San Jose

The Sharks did very well in the last five games for an outsider. They had three victories over strong teams - 6-4 over Pittsburgh, 4-3 (in OT) over Tampa Bay, and 4-1 over Washington. These victories won't change the Sharks' fortunes this season. They are penultimate in the Pacific Division and 16 points behind playoff-closing Calgary.

Expert Betting Tips

• Vegas has won three games in a row.
• On average, San Jose concedes 3.76 goals per game.

The favorite for the upcoming game is Vegas, which is not surprising at all. The Golden Knights have been playing TO hockey for the season, with the occasional ridiculous misfire. That's not the case for San Jose. The Sharks have shown modest performance, as evidenced by their 45 points over 55 games. All in all, the choice is obvious.
