Avalanche at Sharks 4/6/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Avalanche are in the playoffs and they were able to clinch the final wild card spot before the last game of the season. However, the Avalanche are going to finishing the season out against what could be a potential playoff opponent here in the Sharks. The Sharks for their part should be doing a lot better than what they ended up doing on the year and that definitely will be a major issue as the Sharks move forward into the playoffs here. This season the Avalanche have managed to score 3.16 goals a game. The defense for the Avs has allowed only 2.95 goals a game. The Avalanche have converted on the power play at 22.2%, but have ended up killing off 78.5% of the opponents power plays this year.

San Jose this season has relied on the offense to help them in winning the games as they have scored 3.51 goals a game. The defense for the Sharks is fairly suspect and could cost them in the playoffs as they are giving up 3.16 goals a game. The Sharks have converted on the power play at 23.8%, but have killed off 80.6% on the year.
