On Thursday, the Montreal Canadiens head to San Jose, California to take on the Sharks at the SAP Center. When these teams last met back in early December, the Sharks stole a win on the road by a score of 3-1.
Montreal Canadiens
If you’re a Montreal Canadiens fan, you’re likely not sure how to feel about this team in terms of its recent play. It’s tough to pinpoint whether or not the Canadiens are true contenders come playoff time, considering the team is just an even .500 over the past 10 games.
If you look at the team’s production on both ends of the ice, it makes sense that Montreal has had trouble stringing together wins lately. The team is averaging just 2.7 goals per game over the last 10, down from a season average of 3.01.

The team, as a whole, hasn’t been as good as it can be on offense. However, the team’s top goal scorer, Brendan Gallagher, has been fantastic. He has 30 goals on the year, including four in his last five games.
Defensively, the Canadiens have been in the top half of the league all year. Currently, they give up just 2.9 goals per game. That’s good enough for 12th best in the NHL.
San Jose Sharks
The San Jose Sharks have had a decent run over the past 10 games. The team is 6-3-1 in that stretch and has big wins over the Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, and Vancouver Canucks.
Over that stretch, the Sharks have shown that the strength of the team is the offense. In the past 10 games, San Jose has averaged 3.5 goals per game. While that’s slightly down from its season average of 3.61, the Sharks have still shown how dangerous this team is near opposing goals.

Offensively, a lot of credit must be given to center Joe Pavelski. At 34 years old, the veteran is still proving to be a huge goal-scoring threat. He has 36 goals this season, including four in his last five games.

Free Montreal Canadiens vs. San Jose Sharks NHL Prediction:
Two solid offensive teams meet on Thursday night, in what should be a high-scoring affair. Give the advantage to Pavelski and the Sharks though, as they’re on their home ice. I like the Sharks to get the win, likely by a single goal.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: OVER 6.5
Both of these teams can score. This game could easily have four or five goals after the first period. Even though the last meeting between them went under, I’ll take the over here.
