How Do Sharks Bounce Back?

It’s been a horrible start to the season and they have lost each of their games so far this season. In the last game against the Colorado Avalanche, the Sharks scored a goal, but that wasn’t even close enough as the defense gave up four goals. Vitek Vanecek saved 18 of the 21 shots that he faced. Two games ago against the Winnipeg Jets, the Sharks defense gave up eight goals, and that led to the defeat. 

The Sharks are averaging 2.0 goals while their defense is giving up 4.17 goals per game. The offense is ranked 30th in the league while the defense is ranked 28th. In this game, the Sharks are going to need the defense to step up in a big way. 

Ducks Offense Looks to Bounce Back

The Ducks in the last game faced off against the Los Angeles Kings in the last game and they weren’t good enough. The Ducks scored only one goal while the defense gave up four and that led to the defeat. The Ducks gave up four goals in the third period and that led to the defeat. Two games ago against the Colorado Avalanche, the Ducks were defeated 4-3. The Ducks on the season are averaging 2.4 goals while their defense is giving up 3.0 goals per game. The offense is ranked 28th in the league while the defense is ranked 14th. 

San Jose Sharks vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction 

These are both offenses that aren’t good, and it’s going to be much of the same here. The Sharks are averaging 2.0 goals per game while the Ducks are averaging 2.4 goals per game. Look for the Ducks to score only one or two goals and the Sharks are going to really struggle to get any sort of offense here. This is one of my favorite plays for Tuesday.
