With an average of nearly 4 goals per game, the Bruins are off to a remarkable start to the NHL season, boasting an 8-2-1 record. They've scored 42 goals in their first 11 games, combining offense with an effective defense, much like the team already positioned to compete for the Stanley Cup.
The season is already underway; on October 13th, the Bruins defeated the Sharks in San Jose. Now that the game will be at TD Garden, they'll be favored with odds as favorable as -180 to win. Furthermore, they're coming off a dominant 6-0 victory over the Predators, with a pair of goals from David Pastrnak.
Last season, the Sharks finished among the worst in the LA NHL, so their 6-4-1 start is a clear improvement. This season, they're showing an ability to compete in close games, but conceding around 3.3 goals per game is a significant concern.

Our Boston Bruins vs San Jose Sharks Prediction
The Sharks compensate for their defensive lapses with a knack for capitalizing on power plays. Celebrini continues to be San Jose's primary playmaker, while Will Smith generates creativity and talent around him.
But Boston, with Pastrnak, Minten, and Geekie, appears to be generating an even more explosive offense than San Jose, and Jeremy Swayman has been a pillar in goal, with a save percentage of over 92%.
Our prediction for Bruins vs Sharks is: Bruins -1.5.
