Game Preview
It has been a damaging period for the Pittsburgh Penguins in their hunt for a playoff spot this season. They come into this clash after going 4-3-3 over their last ten, but worryingly, they have suffered defeats in each of their last three. Despite that, the Penguins still have one of the best defensive records in the Metropolitan Division.
However, the Penguins will need to pick themselves up following a recent defeat, as they lost 4-2 at home to the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday. Pittsburgh’s only goals in reply were scored in the final period, and they have now dropped to a record of 6-4-3 in home games.
The San Jose Sharks will be the away team this week, as they bid to enhance their prospects in the playoff race. They come into this round of games after going 5-5-0 in their last ten, and they currently sit fifth in the Pacific Division in the Western Conference.
Plenty of positives can be taken from the strong character shown in their latest outing, as they edged out the Toronto Maple Leafs in overtime on Thursday. Alex Wennberg and John Klingberg scored goals in the win.
Sharks vs. Penguins Picks
This could be a good opportunity for the Penguins to get their form back on track. San Jose have suffered nine regulation-time defeats on the road this season, and the Habs have an eye-catching head-to-head advantage in home games against the Sharks.
