The San Jose Sharks (17-14-3) are currently 5th in the Pacific Division and will have an opportunity to get one back against the Dallas Stars (22-7-5) on Thursday evening. These two met earlier this month in Dallas, and the Stars picked up a 4-1 victory. After heading into the 3rd period tied 1-1, the Stars rattled off 3 unanswered goals on their way to the win.

The Stars have won 3 of their last 5 games, with their most recent one being a 4-1 victory at home over the Kings. The win avoided a 3-game losing skid, as the Stars had fallen to both Minnesota and Florida in their two previous games. After being outscored 9-2 in the losses, it was a breath of fresh air for Stars fans to see them hold LA to just a single goal while putting up a healthy 4 of their own.

The Sharks have put up a 4-1 mark since their previous loss to the Stars. They are currently riding a 3-game winning streak after defeating the Leafs, Penguins, and Flames recently. In their last two wins, they put up 6 goals each, which has helped move them more to the middle of the pack in total goals scored in the league. Macklin Celebrini has been the focal point over this 3-game stretch. He has scored 3 goals and assisted on another 5. He is currently leading the Sharks in all offensive categories.

The Sharks will be hungry to get some revenge here and extend their winning streak. But things will not be easy as they are slated to face Jake Oettinger in the Dallas net. His 2.54 goals allowed average is good enough for nearly Top 15 in the NHL.

Our San Jose Sharks vs Dallas Stars Prediction

San Jose has been playing solid hockey over their last 3 games, but this Dallas team is going to be too much for them. The Sharks have not been successful against Dallas in their recent history and that trend is set to continue here. The Shark win streak will be snapped and Oettinger will hold them to 3 or less goals in this contest.
