Our San Jose Sharks vs Nashville Predators Prediction
San Jose has struggled through the first quarter of the regular season, and the biggest problem is at the blue line and in goal. The Sharks have a 3.43 goals-against average and cannot keep pace, with only a 2.43 goals-for average. Celebrini has been one of the Sharks’ few bright spots, but San Jose’s attack has not been able to produce enough. Completing a back-to-back on Sunday will not make things easier for the Sharks.
Nashville has won each of its last seven, and has been strong on the road at 5-1-3. Stamkos and Josi lead the Nashville attack, and the Predators are strong in goal, with Saros between the pipes. Nashville will be on the road, but with a better blue line and goal play, will take advantage of opportunities and win.
Our pick for San Jose Sharks vs Nashville Predators is: Predators win.
