How Do the Sharks Bounce Back from Last Year?

The big question for the Sharks is how they bounce back from last season. Last year the Sharks finished dead last in the NHL and the expectations might not be all that much higher this season. The Sharks have turned to Macklin Celebrini to be their next start as he was selected with the first overall pick in this year’s draft. The Sharks offense was ranked 31st last season but there is at least a little hope for this team to be a little better. 

In this game, if the Sharks want to succeed, they will need to find a way to get the offense going. If the offense struggles, this season will start exactly how last year’s did. The Sharks will meet the Ducks and Stars after this game.

What a Comeback for the Blues

The Blues looked to be in some major trouble against the Seattle Kraken in the first game and there was some major concern about them losing the first game in ugly fashion. After falling behind 2-0, the Blues scored three straight goals and that was enough for the victory. Jordan Kyrou was the star of the show scoring two goals. Justin Faul also had a huge game finishing with two assists. Jordan Binnington was in goal for the last game and he made enough saves to come out on top. He finished the game saving 30 of the 32 shots that he faced. In this game, the offense can’t wait until the second period to get the offense going. The Blues will face the Golden Knights and Wild following this one.

Why the Blues Will Beat the Sharks

• The Sharks have lost 17 of their last 18 night games against Central Division opponents.
• The Blues have won four of their last five games against Pacific Division opponents.
• The Blues have covered the puck line in 11 of their last 13 night games against Pacific Division opponents.
• The Sharks have failed to cover the puck line in each of their last three games.
• The Sharks have lost the third period in each of their last six games as home underdogs against Central Division opponents.

St. Louis Blues vs San Jose Sharks Prediction

The Blues already have one win on the season on the road and here they are going to pick up their second one. The Blues only gave up two goals in the last game and their defense is going to be the difference here. Look for the Sharks offense to really struggle and that is going to be the difference here. The Sharks aren’t going to score more than a goal, and the Blues will come out on top. Back the Blues on the money line.
