San Jose Sharks Analysis

The Sharks have started the season slow, losing their first two games. To break their streak, they will need to win this upcoming game against the Hurricanes. However, the team has only scored one goal per game so far. Thomas Bordeleau was the one to score the lone goal for the Sharks in their previous game; this was his first career goal. Additionally, Matt Benning and Mike Hoffman provided assists in the game. San Jose has been having difficulty defensively, giving up three goals per game. Mackenzie Blackwood is 0-1-0 and has a .981 save percentage thus far in the season. The Carolina Hurricanes have a 0-2-1 record against the Sharks in their last three matchups. San Jose Sharks - Power ranking 31 Offense - Average of 1.00 goals per game (#30) Defense - Average of 3.00 points per game (#13) Overall record - 0-1-1 Carolina Hurricanes - 0-2-1 record in their last three matchups against the Sharks

Hurricanes Could Easily Contain Struggling Sharks on Home Ice

The Hurricanes have won two of their last three games, putting up 14 goals. While their power play conversion rate has been 10%, they have been solid on the penalty kill. On the other hand, the Sharks have dropped two straight with only two goals scored in total. They have also failed to convert on any power play chances. Given the Sharks struggles offensively, the Hurricanes should be able to contain the home team. Take Carolina to cover the puck line.
