The San Jose Sharks host the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night at SAP Center, aiming to win a fifth consecutive home game.
At the start of the campaign, the Sharks looked to be heading toward another lost season after dropping the first six games, allowing 29 goals. However, they have done a complete U-turn since then, becoming one of the most exciting teams in the league.
Following the awful start, San Jose has gone 10-4-1, with the good run results including impressive victories over top teams like the Florida Panthers and Winnipeg Jets. The Sharks' current 6-0-1 run at home marks their best stretch since the 2018-19 season.
Ottawa has flipped between wins and losses lately and will enter Saturday's action following a 3-2 road victory over the Anaheim Ducks. The Senators became only the second visiting team to win at Honda Center this season when Drake Batherson popped up with his seventh goal of the season, only 1:58 from the end of regulation on Thursday night.
After the dramatic victory over the Ducks, Ottawa now attempts to win back-to-back games for only the third time this season. The team has lacked consistency, largely due to a lackluster defense. The Senators have allowed 3.35 goals per game, ranking 25th in the league.

Our San Jose Sharks vs Ottawa Senators Prediction
While the Sharks' success was surprising at the start of the season, they have now been consistently good for several weeks and appear to have a realistic chance of contending for a playoff spot. Yet, many still underestimate Ryan Warsofsky's team, and the young Sharks seem to thrive playing as underdogs.
San Jose's recent winning run at home has been particularly impressive, and the team has a chance to extend it against an inconsistent side. Ottawa has won each of its last two road games but hasn't enjoyed a three-game winning streak away from home since March.
Our prediction for Ottawa Senators vs. San Jose Sharks: Sharks to win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
