One of the last games on next Thursday night's NHL schedule will feature an intriguing matchup between the Florida Panthers and the San Jose Sharks, teams with similar expectations for the upcoming season. Despite this, the odds suggest the Panthers are the favorite to win this game after showing an extremely solid defensive performance against the Carolina Hurricanes in its first game.
However, the Florida Panthers also struggled to find the back of the net against the Carolina Hurricanes because of the high number of penalties committed, a factor that isn’t expected to repeat in this game. As a result, players like Sam Reinhart, Brady Tkachuk, and Carter Verhaeghe are expected to be more involved from the early stages of the game with frequent shots on target.
On the San Jose Sharks’ side, this team will most likely be one of the outsiders of the season especially if Macklin Celebrini can replicate his last season’s performance. Furthermore, it should be noted that bringing players like Darnell Nurse, Jacob Trouba, Mason Marchment, and Michael Kesselring, looks like the perfect decision to turn this team into a real contender for the Pacific Division championship.
