Command Analysis

San Jose Sharks

Current form
San Jose remains the main outsider of the Western Conference and currently has only 45 points in its asset. In the near future, the team cannot even claim the penultimate position, from which it is four points behind. She continues to show poor results and usually goes on a long series of defeats, interrupting them with single victories.
Before that, the Sharks lost to the Islanders (2:4) and Nashville (2:3) on their ice, and after a home victory over Chicago (4:2), they lost at home to Washington - 1:5. In the confrontation with the Capitals, they completely failed the opening segment, in which they conceded three unanswered goals, so they could not fully return to the game. The only goal for the Sharks was scored by a young talent, Maclean Celebrini, who has already scored 50 points in the goal+pass system and is notable for his effective actions in almost every match.
However, the main problem is that Ryan Warsofsky's team plays very poorly defensively and often allows the opponent to score at least three or four times. By the way, today the club remains the most missed in the league.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rutta and Couture will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- San Jose wins 48.4% of face-offs
- The team makes an average of 23 power plays per match.

Carolina Hurricanes

Current form
Carolina currently occupies the second position of the Eastern Conference and is rightfully one of the main leaders of the standings. The team has been showing amazing results since the beginning of this month and continues to win match after match. To date, her winning streak has already numbered seven matches, and the Hurricanes, apparently, are only gaining momentum.
They had previously defeated Winnipeg (4:2) and Tampa (4:1) on their ice, and after a successful match against Detroit (4:2), they went away in good spirits, where they had already defeated Philadelphia with a score of 5:0 and for the first time since the end of January they remained without a single missed goal.. Of course, it is worth noting the actions of the Russian goalkeeper, Peter Kochetkov, who managed to parry a total of 25 shots. The minority brigade also did a good job, neutralizing two attempts by the opponent.
At the same time, Carolina clearly does not perform as successfully on foreign grounds as on her own ice, and she has won only 14 victories all the time, and also did not score more than two or three goals on average. But the hurricanes spend the second leg at a high level and have a 77:52 ratio in terms of goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fast, Orlov and Carrie will not participate in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Carolina gets an average of 6.76 minutes of penalty time per match.
- According to statistics, Carolina's opponents make about 25 shots on target.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In the last four matches between the clubs, the first period was productive.
1.80The 3rd periodbet: the victory of the guests
In four out of five meetings against the Sharks, the guests were successful in the third segment.
1.95Tip and bets
Carolina should get two points in this matchup without any problems, as she is significantly superior to her opponent in class and looks stronger in all respects. The Hurricanes, moreover, are in great shape and definitely do not intend to stop there. Past meetings against San Jose, the hurricanes often ended in their favor and succeeded with a difference of several goals, so it makes sense to bet on their success with a handicap.
Prediction - Carolina wins with an Asian handicap (-1.5) on goals in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
In most of the previous matches, Carolina remained with the minimum number of goals conceded. In the last match against Philadelphia, the guests did not miss at all. San Jose, in turn, scored no more than two goals in three out of four matches. In face-to-face meetings with the Hurricanes, the Sharks are also usually limited to two goals scored, so it makes sense to bet on their total.
We take San Jose's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.52
Bet on the total total
In this confrontation, Carolina will try to win in class and will not allow too much to the opponent at their gates. The last match between the clubs took place with only five goals scored, and the guests finished the last three matches out of five with less than six goals. It is likely that in the upcoming confrontation we will witness ineffective hockey.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 2.10
