One of the last games to be disputed next Tuesday night in the NHL corresponds to the clash between San Jose Sharks and Montreal Canadiens, teams that will face at 09:30 pm CST. Despite this, it isn’t one of the most attractive games to watch due to the terrible performance that both teams have had throughout the season in their respective Conferences.

On the one hand, San Jose Sharks are practically condemned to remain at the bottom of the Western Conference as they became the first team in the NHL to concede more than 200 goals during the season. Those numbers are very concerning, and it’s very relevant to note that they only were able to score 2 goals per game during their last two home confrontations against teams from the Atlantic Division.

On the other hand, Montreal Canadiens recently extended their awful streak to 5 losses in a row, in which they’ve received 3 or more goals per game. Despite this, they’re considered as the big favorites to win this game according to the bookmakers’ odds, but it’s worth noting that they lost their most recent away game against a team from the Pacific Division like Anaheim Ducks (3-2).
