Command Analysis

San Jose Sharks

Current form

Vegas made the playoffs last season only from the eighth line in the West, but that didn’t stop the team from Nevada from giving the best team in the Central Division a fight in the first round. The Golden Knights lost to Dallas in seven games, although they started with two wins on the road. In the offseason, the owners signed goalies Akira Schmidt and Ilya Samsonov, and the offense was strengthened by the arrival of Tomas Hertl, Noah Hanifin should help the Knights’ defense act more reliably.

Interesting trends for betting

On average, the Golden Knights block 18 shots per game.
The Golden Knights are averaging more than 31 shots per game.

Vegas Golden Knights

Current form

San Jose once again missed the playoffs in the last Stanley Cup. The team from California signed a new head coach, Ryan Warsofsky. Last season, the Sharks became the absolute worst club in the KHL, scoring only 47 points in 82 games. There were a lot of changes in the Sharks roster. Tomas Hertl and Mike Hoffman left the visiting team, and Andrew Poturalski, Karl Grundstrom, Barclay Gaudreau, and the first number of the last draft, MacLean Celebrini, came to replace them.

Tip and bets

TipVegas with 0 handicap

1.75

Vegas remains the same strong team that will regularly win on home ice in the new season. San Jose continues to rebuild. The Sharks' roster has undergone many changes in the summer, most notably the change of head coach. The Golden Knights smashed the Sharks last year and early this year. We don't think that the visitors will be able to quickly get into sync and immediately beat such a strong opponent. We offer a bet on the first team to win with zero handicap insurance.

1.78

Bet on total

Last season, the matches between the teams were almost always one-sided. Given the friendly nature of the game, we don’t think that the Sharks won’t be able to bite back. We believe that the duel on the ice in Nevada will be spectacular and productive.

We take the total over 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.78
