SJ Sharks vs CLB Blue Jackets Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on February 18. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

San Jose failed the season, and it was clear even at its start. Nothing much has changed since then, and the Sharks are still at the bottom of the tables. Thus, they are last in the Pacific Division table, and 15th in the West table. The team has only 35 points. Only Chicago is doing worse. San Jose has even improved lately, though, scoring points in three of the last four meetings, and the day before they beat Calgary (6:3).

Columbus, like San Jose, has nothing to catch this season. They are in last place in its division standings, and is also going last in the Eastern Conference standings. The Blue Jackets have only 42 points, so they are not even dreaming about the playoffs. We also note that Columbus has lost four of their previous five meetings, and the day before they lost to Tampa Bay by a score of 2:4 and Ottawa by a score of 3:6.

Both teams are terrible this season, and both have little to no tournament motivation anymore. But here we still rush to favor San Jose. After all, they have been making progress lately - the Sharks haven't lost in regulation time in seven of their nine previous meetings. In addition, they will play with the support of their fans. Columbus, on the other hand, is doing worse. We offer a bet on the home team not to lose within three periods.
