San Jose Sharks Team Overview
No one has been expecting heroics from the "Sharks" for a while now, and they kicked off the season just as anticipated-with three consecutive losses. However, all their matches have been incredibly high-scoring affairs. On one hand, their offensive efficiency is a promising sign for the future. On the other, their glaring defensive weaknesses and struggles at the back are far from reassuring.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Utah: Vejmelka - Sergachev, Määtä - Keller, Hayton, Schmaltz
San Jose: Nedeljkovic - Orlov, Ferraro - Eklund, Celebrini, Toffoli
🥅 Goalkeepers
Utah's netminder Karel Vejmelka has already played three games and has shown remarkable consistency and composure. The Czech goalie boasts a save percentage of 92.8%, providing his teammates with numerous opportunities.
San Jose's goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic has yet to find his form in California, managing only an 87.8% save percentage. He appears to be a shadow of his former self from his Detroit days, although his teammates haven't been particularly supportive either.
Editor's Prediction
As we've noted earlier, every game involving the visitors tends to be quite high-scoring, which is definitely worth noting. In 7 out of their last 8 away games, San Jose have seen at least five goals scored. This trend continues in five consecutive matches for the Sharks. The hosts might be more reserved, but they could still shine in such an "open" scenario. We recommend betting on a total over 5.5 goals.
