Prediction for the NHL match between Boston vs San Jose, which will take place on December 1st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Boston is a fantastic team that broke several league records last year but left the playoffs in the first round. The Bruins started this season well, earning 19 out of 20 points in the first ten games, but the results gradually decreased. In their last three games, they failed 2-5 to Detroit, 4-7 to the Rangers, and 2-5 to Columbus. Three games in a row without a point dropped Boston to second place in the Eastern Conference standings.

San Jose is still one of the underdogs. Suffice it to say that the Sharks finished last season on a long losing streak, and they opened the current regular season with another 11 failed matches. Despite the humiliation, the Californians started to play kind of decently, winning five of their next 11 games with six losses. Still, they remain in last place in the Western Conference.

Boston comes into the matchup in bad shape. The Bruins haven't gained a point in their last three games. So, a match with San Jose is an excellent opportunity to end this streak. It's all about the fact that the Sharks are the league's underdogs, having lost in the last 12 H2H meetings. 

We should not expect the upcoming confrontation to be effective. We have already noticed that Boston is not in the best shape. Therefore, it is much more important to gain two points pragmatically rather than playing entertainingly. Furthermore, in the last four meetings, the opponents scored only 18 goals (4.50 average per game).
