San Jose Sharks vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction & Picks - NHL
by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks
One of the less attractive NHL games to be disputed next Saturday, November 16th corresponds to the clash between Pittsburgh Penguins and San Jose Sharks, teams that currently are two of the weakest in their respective Conferences due to their awful defensive performances. With that in mind, it’s evident that both have a huge urgency to win this game to at least become more competitive.
When looking closely at both teams’ performance, Pittsburgh Penguins lost their last 3 games in a row, keeping as the worst defensive in the Eastern Conference with 77 conceded goals. Additionally, it must be noted that the Penguins haven’t been able to win the third period in any of their last 5 games, and any of the first periods in their last 4 games.
On San Jose Sharks’ case, this team is at the bottom of the Western Conference, negatively remarking as the second worst defensive with 63 received goals throughout the season. Even so, they showed a good competitive level during their last 3 games against teams like NY Rankers, PHI Flyers and NJ Devils, so they mustn’t be discarded for this game, as they’ll definitely have chances of winning.
