Macklin Celebrini and the San Jose Sharks take on David Pastrnak and the Boston Bruins on Thursday. The two met in November where the Sharks defended home ice in a 3-1 win, but how will this one shake out? Here is our Sharks vs. Bruins prediction to get you set.

Boston has been quite a back-and-forth team of late, as they are 4-2-2 in their last eight games dating back to February 1st, and have not won or lost multiple games in a row during that span. However, they are 4-0-0 on home ice during that span and have won an unbelievable 13 straight times at their home TD Garden. This now has them with a 25-8-1 record on home ice, and in the thick of a tight playoff battle, I don’t see this success slowing down. San Jose doesn’t come into this game particularly hot, as they have now lost 3 straight games and will be suiting up for their second of a grueling 5-game road trip. The Sharks are also taking on a strong offense that beats them in goals per game (3.31 vs. 3.06), power play (24.9% vs. 20.0), and shooting percentage (12.2% vs. 11.8%). This will be a fun battle between teams gunning for the playoffs, but our Sharks vs. Bruins prediction sides with Boston on the money line.
