On Thursday night, the Florida Panthers head to San Jose, California to take on the Sharks at the SAP Center. When these teams last met back in January, the Panthers won 6-2 at home.
Florida Panthers
The Panthers have found their footing again after losing six straight games, including four in overtime. Florida won its last two games — against Minnesota and Detroit — while scoring six goals in each game.
In those same two wins, the team gave up just a total of three goals. That’s a vast improvement defensively compared to the previous six losses where the team gave up four goals per game.

In fact, that’s been Florida’s main problem this year. The defense has struggled immensely. The Panthers give up 3.3 goals per game, 27th in the NHL in that category, and that’s been a huge reason why the team is 5th in the Atlantic Division.
San Jose Sharks
The San Jose Sharks just keep winning. Most recently, the Sharks beat Winnipeg 5-4, giving the team its six straight win and eighth in the last 10 games.
During that stretch, the offense has been phenomenal. Aside from one shutout loss, the goal-scoring has been the best it’s been all year. Over the last 10 games, San Jose’s averaging 3.5 goals per game.
The team ranks second in the league in that category, and there are plenty of reasons why.

Tomas Hertl (31 goals, 32 assists) has been huge for the Sharks all year. Over his last five games, he has three goals and three assists.
Winger Timo Meier has had a great stretch of scoring for the Sharks, too. This season, he has 26 goals and 33 assists, including four goals and two assists in his previous five games.

Free Florida Panthers vs. San Jose Sharks NHL Prediction:
San Jose continues to look extremely strong, especially on its home ice. While I think this game will be close, the Sharks pull it out at home and get a one-goal victory.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: OVER
While I like San Jose to win at home, I don’t think taking them at -235 is worth the risk against a Florida team that can score. This should be a high-scoring game between two solid offensive teams, so I’ll take the Over here.
