Preview

Vancouver Canucks will meet San Jose Sharks on Thursday at San Jose, they have meet once already this season which was also a home game for the Sharks and the Canucks were able to get the Win in this game (5-2).

Vancouver Canucks are coming off a big win vs Toronto Maple leafs (3-2) on Saturday, Goalscorers were J.T Miller, Brook Boeser and Juho Lammiko for the Canucks while Austin Mathews and Ondrej Kase scored for Toronto.

San Jose Sharks are on a bad form right now as they have 4 game losing streak going into this game and they are 2-8 straight up last 10 games. Sharks are 1-11 straight up as underdogs and 0-5 last 5 home games as an underdog, So they are on a better form now and being at home didn't help them with any advantage over the last few games.

Canucks have been playing better lately as they 6-0 last 6 games as favourites although they are 0-4 last 4 games after a win which might be a little concerning here. Over is also 4-0 last 4 games for the Canucks as favourites.

Head to Head

Last game between both teams ended in a Canucks (5-2) win over the Sharks although the Sharks outshoot them 36 to 30 in that game, Brock Boeser scored 2 goals for Canucks. It's even between both teams in last 10 games each of them have won 5 games, O/U is 5-4 with the Sharks averaging 28.6 shots and the Canucks averaging 29.1 shots. Canucks are 5-1 straight up last 6 games vs the Sharks.

Prediction

I like Vancouver Canucks in this matchup as they are in a decent form and they are playing better than the Sharks lately as the sharks lost 6 of their last 7 games and they have lost to Vancouver already this season by 3 goals. I can see this as a 3-2 or 4-2 type of game for the Canucks. Give me the Canucks here on the money line.
