On October 19, San Jose will cross sticks with Pittsburgh in the NHL Regional Championship match. After the Sharks lost to Utah, the only question is: will the hockey players from California be able to rehabilitate themselves? And most importantly, what to bet on so as not to be left with empty pockets? Let's figure it out, in the best traditions of debriefing, with a spark and without too much water

Command Analysis

San Jose Sharks

Current form

The Sharks showed their teeth in the first period against Utah, but then everything went awry. They won back from 0:2, equalizing the score in the second thanks to goals from Tyler Toffoli and Jeff Skinner, and it seemed that the Californians were about to turn the game around. But the defense cracked, conceding four goals in a row, especially unable to withstand the pressure of Utah's top three, led by Nick Schmaltz, who scored a hat trick. Alexander Barabanov added a goal in the third, but the result is 3-6, and the Sharks remain winless in the season, dangling at the bottom of the Western Conference.

Interesting facts for betting

Sharks scores an average of 2.9 goals per match (statistics for the last ten games).

Pittsburgh Penguins

Current form

Pittsburgh, meanwhile, staged a real comeback against the Los Angeles Kings, coming back from 0-2 and winning 4-2, which allowed them to strengthen their position in the Eastern Conference playoff zone. Evgeni Malkin led the turnaround, scoring in the majority and dominating in both zones. Philip Holander opened the scoring for the NHL, putting the team ahead in the third period, and Sidney Crosby scored in the empty, confirming the status of the captain, who is always one step ahead.

Interesting facts for betting

Pittsburgh scores an average of 3.3 goals per game (statistics for the last ten games).

Tip and bets

TipPittsburgh's victory

2.10

In the history of face-to—face meetings, Pittsburgh and San Jose share points almost equally, but now the penguins are clearly in the role of sharks, and the sharks are in the role of prey. Sharks without a single win, with injuries in defense — Klinberg and Liljegren are in big question, which makes them vulnerable, like the California fog. Pittsburgh also has losses in depth, but Malkin and Crosby are a caliber that breaks through any armor, as they showed in the match against the Kings.

Our prediction is that Pittsburgh will win in 2.10
