Heading into the season, two of the biggest storylines involved the Boston Bruins and San Jose Sharks. David Pastrnak took over as captain for the former and Macklin Celebrini received a huge contract from the latter. Now the stars face off, so we need the best Bruins vs Sharks predictions.
It’s about as far from home as it gets for Boston, which certainly plays a part in this matchup being just about a pick ‘em at most spots. Even with that being the case, they simply have a deeper roster with much more trustworthy goaltending. That’s why they were able to bounce back from a couple of losses with dominant 6-1 and 5-1 victories. On the flip side, San Jose not only just lost by multiple goals on home ice, but they also haven’t scored more than three goals in any of their last three games. That’s great news for both our best Bruins vs Sharks prediction and Jeremy Swayman.
Boston’s netminder is currently inside the top five when it comes to the Vezina Trophy odds, and the Sharks lack consistent goal-scoring threats beyond Celebrini. Therefore, we see great value with Bruins ML.
