One of the last games in next Thursday night’s NHL schedule features the clash between the New Jersey Devils and San Jose Sharks, teams that will face off at SAP Center at 08:00 pm CST. For this game, the Devils are considered the absolute favorites to win according to the bookies’ odds; however, it cannot be ignored that they struggled during their first on-the-road game against a Western Conference team.
Taking this into account, this game will be a great chance for the San Jose Sharks to demonstrate their improvement, because even though they currently are at the bottom of the Western Conference standings, their offensive performance has improved a lot in comparison to the last season. Nonetheless, it hasn’t been enough to get a regulation-time victory yet, so they must keep working hard to get positive home results.
Meanwhile, the New Jersey Devils are still the best team in the Metropolitan Division, but they recently lost an eight-game winning streak with their 8-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. That referred result provided an important perspective for the Devils, because even though they’re expected to be one of the most competitive teams of the season, they’re far from being real contenders for the Stanley Cup championship.
