Vegas Golden Knights vs San Jose Sharks Prediction: Vegas is the strongest team in the Western Conference

Prediction for the NHL Vegas Golden Knights vs San Jose Sharks match, which will take place on November 16. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Vegas failed to make the playoffs for the first time in their history last season and then made a significant personnel change by appointing Bruce Cassidy as head coach. The move has so far fully justified itself, as the Knights have been performing admirably in their current regular season debut. In 16 meetings, the Black and Gold have won 13 games and lost three, which in itself is a big success. With such a strong debut, the Paradise team clinched first place in the Western Conference standings.

San Jose has been the underdog in recent years. That's surprising because the Sharks' roster isn't exactly weak, but they've yet to produce meaningful progress. The Californians also made a poor start to the regular season, suffering five straight losses. After that, the Turquoise began to struggle for points, but not nearly often enough. In the last 12 meetings, they have won five games and lost seven. Such modest results left David Quinn's side in 13th place in the Western Conference.

Vegas and San Jose are completely different opponents at the moment. While the Knights have made a solid start to the regular season, allowing them to retain a substantial lead in the Western Conference standings, the Sharks have a severe performance problem which has them sitting among the underdogs in the league. Moreover, the Black and Gold have taken 12 of the last 14 head-to-head encounters, so a bet on Vegas at odds of 1.835 should be in order.

Vegas is the strongest team in the Western Conference in the current regular season, but the Knights collect points in almost all games and play great offensively. In the last five meetings, they scored 24 goals (4.80 average per game), so the best option for the prediction seems to be an individual total of Vegas over 3.5 pucks for 1.92 and bet on the total over 0.5 points of William Karlsson for 1.76.
