San Jose Sharks vs Dallas Stars Prediction: Two teams with very different levels of ability and ambition

Prediction for the NHL San Jose Sharks vs Dallas Stars match will occur on February 9. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

San Jose Sharks

San Jose has been a perennial underdog in the NHL in recent years, and the current regular season is no exception. The Californians now have a very talented Macklin Celebrini, but he is still too young. There are a number of experienced players, but together, they have produced modest results.

In their last ten meetings, the Sharks have taken just three points, winning 2-1 at Pittsburgh and taking a point from a 2-1 overtime loss to Vancouver the night before. That is enough to keep San Jose last in the Western Conference.

Dallas Stars

Dallas is much more competitive, ambitious, and experienced. The Texans have been active Cup contenders in recent years, sometimes making it to the playoffs. In the current regular season, they have continued to delight fans with good results and are among the contenders for the Stanley Cup.

The Stars went on a five-game winning streak in January and December but couldn't keep the momentum going. Their trip to California hasn't gone well so far, with losses to Anaheim (1-2) and Los Angeles (4-5), but that hasn't stopped them from finishing third in the Western Conference.

H2H Stats

San Jose and Dallas have met twice this season. The Texans won both meetings, 3-2 and 5-2.

Expert Betting Tips

San Jose and Dallas are two teams with very different levels of ability and ambition. This is most evident in the standings, with the Californians sitting bottom of the Western Conference and the Texans third. The Sharks have also lost nine of their last ten games, a reflection of their current form, and the statistics favor the Stars, who have won their previous five meetings. 

San Jose and Dallas have a recent history of high-scoring encounters. In the last eight meetings, the rivals have combined for 63 pucks (an average of 7.88 per game)—an excellent result, even by NHL standards.
