A big battle is about to happen on the ice here as the Sharks are going to be facing the Avalanche here. Both of these teams are playing at a high level on the season and they are both playing at the same type of game that has been fairly well balanced. What else could pose an issue for these teams is the game will be a back and forth battle and could easily end up being one of those games that ends up being more of a defensive battle as both teams tend to be geared towards the offense. With the Sharks they have been able to score 3.41 goals a game and the defense of the Sharks is giving up 3.07 goals a game. When it comes to converting on the power play the Sharks have converted at 23.6% and have killed off 83.9% of the power plays.

The Avalanche have been able to score 3.35 goals a game and the defense has allowed 3.05 goals a game. When it comes to the power play the Avalanche have converted at 26.6% and have killed off 77.6%.

The Sharks have been playing well on the year and have been quite a bit more consistent on the season compared to the Avalanche. Not to mention the Sharks have had some sloppy games on the season and that can make a difference in the way the results are going to happen here as the consistent play helps out quite a bit more. Final Score Prediction, San Jose Sharks win 4-2.
