The Colorado Avalanche (36-9-9, 20-3-4 Home) will go for the season series win when they host the San Jose Sharks (27-23-4, 13-14-1 Away) at Ball Arena in Denver, CO, Wednesday night. Fans can follow the action on ESPN+ once the puck drops at 9 p.m. EST.
San Jose won the first meeting on their home ice early in the season on November 1, 3-2 in overtime. After playing to a tie, 2-2, after the second period, the two teams went scoreless in the third to force overtime, where the Sharks got the game-clinching goal. But the second meeting, a few weeks later (November 26), did not go nearly as well for the Sharks. It did, however, go very well for the home team, the Avalanche, who got out to a 2-0 lead after the first period and never looked back. They added three more goals in the second and one more in the third to make the final score 6-0.
Neither team will be at their best coming into this game. Colorado is coming off a 2-0 shutout loss to Detroit on Monday at home, two days after crushing the Red Wings 5-0 in Detroit. San Jose started their current road trip off with a win over Vancouver, 5-2, but with a loss to the Blackhawks in Chicago on Monday (6-3), they’ve lost three in a row.

Our Colorado Avalanche vs San Jose Sharks Prediction
Colorado is one of the best teams in the league, but they have lost three of their last four games. But San Jose has lost three in a row (4-3 OT, 3-2, 6-3). If the Sharks were playing well, I’d be inclined to take San Jose and the points, but their last game was the worst of their three losses. The Avalanche have lost seven of their last ten, but considering how poorly San Jose has played…
Our San Jose vs. Colorado Pick: Colorado -1.5
