San Jose Sharks - Calgary Flames: NHL match betting tip

Current form

It seems that San Jose will not recover until the end of the regular season. The team continues to be in terrible shape, and the series of defeats has reached five matches in a row, and most of them ended in regular time. Only Anaheim managed to impose a decent fight. In the third period, the Shakers made a comeback, equalizing the score just three minutes before the final whistle, but eventually lost in a shootout (3:4). After that, the team returned to the home arena, where they faced the clear favorite in the person of Edmonton, losing by one goal (2:3).

Continuing to perform in their native walls, the sharks fought with Seattle and this time they could not hold back the pressure of the competitor, suffering a defeat with a score of 1:5. Goalkeeper Georgiev showed his worst side, and had to be replaced in the middle of the second period. The club continues to be on the last line in the Western Conference table and is unlikely to rise higher.

Disqualifications and injuries

Mukhamadullin, Couture and Rutta will not play in the upcoming match. The condition of Georgiev Schuldt and Dejarnay is questionable.

Current form

Calgary has been having a hard time earning points lately. The team is not in the best shape, which is why it constantly alternates between wins and losses. The Flames had a three-match away series, in which they were able to succeed only in a duel with Colorado, snatching Victoria in a shootout (3:2). Goalkeeper Vladar confidently coped with his task, reflecting 94% of shots, which allowed him to succeed. The team was close to another victory in the match with the Oilers, but this time the opponent equalized the score at the end of the third period and moved the game into overtime, where they had to concede (2:3).

Returning to the home arena, the lights fought with Anaheim and played as reliably as possible in defense, which allowed them to defeat the Ducks with a score of 4:1. In particular, it is worth praising striker Coleman, who scored a double. The team was one step away from winning for the second time in a row, but suffered an insulting defeat from Vegas in overtime (2:3). Calgary urgently needs to come to its senses and stop losing points, as at the moment the club is only six points behind the playoff zone, and it is still possible to compete for a ticket to the Stanley Cup.

Disqualifications and injuries

Kirkland and Manta remain in the infirmary.
