Pittsburgh Penguins vs San Jose Sharks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/18/25

The Pittsburgh Penguins complete their three-game California road trip with a stop to take on the San Jose Sharks. After losing two-straight games in regulation, the Penguins returned to the win column, and will look to continue this against a young Sharks team who is still looking for their first win of the season. We are here to provide our expert Penguins vs. Sharks predictions for what will be great NHL action.

While San Jose is the home team, they are playing in their second game in as many nights after a 6-3 road loss to the Utah Mammoth. They will now be welcoming a Penguins team who may not have extreme expectations, but are determined for a winning season as of right now. Depth has obviously taken a hit in Pittsburgh after their dominance almost 10 years ago, but the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Erik Karlsson, and Kris Letang remain on the team and are trying to lead the way. San Jose has struggled on all fronts of the game, and as the team is extremely young, it is evident they are still trying to build chemistry and get their feet wet in the league. I’ll take the veteran-savvy Penguins who have three wins in five games to earn the road victory in this one. Take them on the money line for our Penguins vs. Sharks predictions.
