Ryan Poehling also has 3 points (2+1), actively joining the attack.

William Smith, with 5 points (2+3), consistently creates chances. Tyler Toffoli has just 1 point (0+1), but his experience is vital in finishing plays.
🥅 Goaltenders
Anaheim's Dostál (3.13; 88.9%) and Husso (3.21; 88.7%) have underwhelming stats and lack consistent reliability.For San Jose, Askarov (3.56; 88.6%) and Nedeljkovic (2.95; 89.3%) aren't perfect either but appear slightly more stable against the opposing defense.
Editorial Prediction
Despite Anaheim's higher standing in the table, their current form tells a different story. The Ducks are in a deep slump, enduring a six-game losing streak and consistently faltering defensively. Over their last six games, they concede an average of around 4.8 goals per game, making them one of the most vulnerable defenses at this stage. In this context, even home ice doesn't seem to offer much of an advantage.
San Jose, on the other hand, appear more composed and steadily accumulate points, regularly finding their moments in attack. This is particularly evident on the road-scoring over 2.5 goals in seven of their last eight away games, showcasing effective finishing. Given Anaheim's current form and their defensive issues, the Sharks have every chance to play aggressively up front once again. Our pick is San Jose's team total over 2.5 goals.
