The Bruins are in the middle of 5 straight wins and some of those wins have even come on the road. However, the Bruins are a team that has started to have those 5 straight wins against some of the weaker teams in the NHL and that may not have them ready for the Sharks, who have been one of the best teams in the Western Conference this year.

Tukka Rask has been the goalie who has led the Bruins in wins this season.as he has managed to get 19 on the year. When it comes to turning away the opponents shots Rask has a 92% saves on the season, but he has a 2.37 goals against.
The Sharks are sitting in first place with a tie with the Flames, but the Flames do hold the tie break right now. What else is going to be an issue for the Sharks is the fact that the team did recently lose to the Capitals, but it was a game that was definitely a good thing for the Sharks as it allowed them to see some of the weaknesses they have in their defense.

The Sharks on the year have relied on Martin Jones in net for most of the wins. Jones on the season has managed to get 28 wins on the year, but has a save percentage of only 89.9%, but has a goals against average of 2.88.

With the Sharks the team has been playing at a high level, but the Bruins are also playing at a good level as well, but the Bruins wins have been against some of the weaker teams in the NHL. Look for the Sharks to be able to take down the Bruins in this game as the Bruins are used to playing very weak teams in the league and that will cost them in this game here. Final Score Prediction, San Jose Sharks win 4-1.
