Winnipeg Jets vs San Jose Sharks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/01/26

The Winnipeg Jets will take on the San Jose Sharks Sunday. Both teams are 1-1 since coming back from the Olympic break. Both teams have similar records on the year with the Sharks ranking 11^th in the Western Conference and the Jets ranking 12^th. In the Jets most recent game, they lost a 2 goal lead against the Anaheim Ducks and ended up losing the game in overtime. This was an inspiring game for the Jets as they are averaging only 2.86 goals per game this season. While they showed they could score goals, they also showed that their defense is still a major problem. They gave up 3 goals in the 3^rd period against the Ducks and it is hard to have faith they will not do that today.

For the Sharks, they beat the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 in their most recent game. The offense was on fire and found the back of the net with ease. This has been common at home as they have scored 3 goals in 6 of their last 8 home games. They also rank 6^th in the NHL in shot percentage with them scoring on 11.8% of their shots. The Sharks also rank 13^th in power play goals with 38 this season. On the defensive side, they have struggled this season giving up 3.50 goals per game. In their game against the Oilers, Yaroslav Askarov was incredible and provided the team with a spark. I have a feeling they will bring that same spark into this game. I think the Sharks offense will be too much for the Jets so I am taking the Sharks to get the win at home.
