One of the last games in next Tuesday night’s NHL schedule will feature the clash between the Montreal Canadiens and the San Jose Sharks, teams that, despite living different scenarios in their respective conferences, are both urged for a victory. However, it’s a fact that the Canadiens have kept a more solid performance in comparison to the Sharks, so it makes sense that they are considered favorites to win according to the odds.
Despite that favoritism, the San Jose Sharks will face this game with plenty of motivation after winning their last two straight games, a result that allowed them to reduce the gap between them and the Edmonton Oilers to just four points. In this regard, it’s worth noting that the Olympic break was definitely helpful for this team to find rest and prepare for the last 20 games of the regular season with a solid defense.
Meanwhile, the Montreal Canadiens were also able to secure points during their last two games, during which they faced very competitive teams like the New York Islanders and the Washington Capitals. Furthermore, it should be noted that the Canadiens are the second-best offense in the Atlantic Division with 208 goals scored, but some other players apart from Cole Caufield are expected to increase their scoring ratio during the rest of the season.
