San Jose Sharks vs Arizona Coyotes: Coyotes will bare their teeth

Prediction for the NHL San Jose Sharks vs Arizona Coyotes match, which will take place on December 29. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

San Jose has been miserable in front of their stands in the last couple of weeks. Two wins and three losses, with a combined score of 12:17. We doubt the fans were expecting this result, and in the last two games, the Sharks failed twice. First, they lost by two goals to Seattle (1:3) and then to Vancouver (2:5). As a result of that awful five-game stretch, San Jose dropped to 12th place in the West standings and sixth in the Pacific Division, five points behind the playoffs.

The NHL's biggest outsider created quite a sensation last game, defeating one of the West's main favourites, Anaheim on the road (6:5 including overtime). The Coyotes broke their losing streak nicely, but can they start a winning streak? The club has a lot of problems in the Central Division standings right now because Colorado is ahead by 22 points in the bottom of the play-off zone.

Honestly, San Jose does not inspire much confidence. They failed to beat Seattle, who are in last place in the Western Conference. After the previous week's sensation, Arizona has become more courageous, but it is hazardous to bet on a clean win. The bookmakers have excellent odds on the Coyotes to win with a plus handicap. Prediction: Handicap 2 (+1).
