LiontipsBoston vs San Jose. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 23, 2023).
Command Analysis
Boston are on top form. In the previous four matches, the Bruins collected eight points. After an away victory against the Islanders (4:1), they celebrated success over the Rangers (3:1). The Bruins are solid on defense and rarely concede more than one or two goals while scoring an average of four. Boston lost only four home games this season.
San Jose are one of the outsiders in the Western Conference and have pretty much no chance of making it into the playoffs. The Sharks rarely win more than one game in a row this season and usually earn points only against other outsiders. Recently they defeated Dallas with a score of 5:3, but that was an exception. The Sharks are unreliable on defense and on average concede four goals per game.
