San Jose - Boston: NHL match betting tip
As part of the NHL Championship, a meeting between San Jose and Boston awaits us on March 23. The Sharks are the outsider of the championship and previously showed mediocre results too. However, the guests are currently in poor condition themselves and had previously suffered four defeats in a row, so we cannot say that they are absolutely ready to face the sharks.

Command Analysis

San Jose Sharks

Current form
San Jose is in the last position of the Western Conference and scored a total of 45 points. At the same time, there is no progress in the team's game, and it usually remains on a losing streak, only occasionally delighting fans with successful duels. Let's emphasize that this season the club can only fight for the penultimate place, from which it is even now four points away.
The Sharks had also been defeated in the previous five out of six meetings. They lost to Nashville at home (2:3), after which they dealt with their main competitor in Chicago (4:2), and in the final matches they lost to the leaders in Washington (1:5) and Carolina (1:3), and in none of the cases did they score more than one abandoned goal. with a washer. By the way, if the Sharks had no problems with performance at the start of the championship, and they acted exclusively on opposite courses, then recently even two or three goals have been given to them with great difficulty.
The third period is the most unfortunate for Ryan Warsofsky's team, in which he has a 64:91 ratio in scoring and missed goals and almost never gets away with it.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rutta, Couture, Askarov, Vlasik, Tran and Wennberg will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, San Jose holds 23 power moves.
- San Jose wins 48.3% of face-offs

Boston Bruins

Current form
Boston moved away from the playoff zone and ended up in the 13th position of the Eastern Conference. The team is already five points behind the top eight and still can't pull itself together. She loses match after match and often loses to her opponents by a few goals. That's why her self-confidence might have been shaken somewhat.
So, on the road, the bears lost to Ottawa (3:6), after which they lost at home to Tampa (2:6) and Buffalo (2:3 OT), again going to visit Vegas in a bad mood. It is not surprising that in the final meeting the Bruins lost with a score of 1:5, having failed to put up any resistance to their opponent. In general, Joe Sacco's team has often failed defensively lately, which is why there have been at least five goals in his net. Perhaps the departure of Brad Marchand, who in a difficult moment could cheer up the team and lead it, also influenced the morale.
However, Boston performs poorly at other venues throughout the season, because it managed to win only nine victories during the regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lindholm and McEvoy will not help their team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Boston holds 26 power moves per match.
- Boston has a 57:72 ratio in goals scored and conceded in the second period.

1.55Tip and bets
San Jose could cause trouble for the Bruins in the upcoming meeting, especially considering the exact form the visitors are in at the moment. The Bears are losing match after match, so it's hard to believe that they can beat even an outsider on the road with a crushing score. The Sharks will probably try to pull themselves together and make the most of themselves after two unsuccessful matches. We think they can bring it at least to overtime.
Prediction - San Jose won't lose in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Recently, Boston has shown poor performance and usually could not open the opponents' defense more than twice. San Jose, of course, is far from perfect in defense and makes many mistakes in its own zone, but if Georgiev does his job well this time, the Bruins will definitely not be able to score even three goals.
We take Boston's individual total of less than 3.5 goals for 1.52
Bet on the total total
Previous meetings between the clubs have been inconclusive. So, the three previous matches out of four between the Bruins and the Sharks were less than six goals scored. Both teams are currently on a long series of setbacks and have recently had problems with the implementation of chances, so we would not expect more than five goals in this confrontation.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 2.00
