The Sharks lost their previous eight matches, going 0-5-3, and have not had a regulation victory since February 20.

With 24 goals, Couture has the most on the current San Jose team. San Jose scores 2.85 goals per game, which ranks 25th in the league.

 

They rank 25th for average shots on goal with 29.8. They rank 16th in faceoff % and 27th in power play percentage, respectively.

 

The Sharks’ 3.82 goals allowed per game rank 30th in the NHL in defense. Their 83% penalty-kill rate places them sixth.

San Jose Sharks vs Calgary Flames Predictions 3/25/2023

 

Calgary is currently playing a three-game homestand that began on Thursday with a 3-2 loss to Las Vegas. Calgary suffered their 27th one-goal loss, which leads the NHL.

 

As a result, Calgary’s chances of making the playoffs are diminishing as the Flames are currently six points behind Winnipeg for the second wild-card berth in the Western Conference.

 

Midway through the first period, Calgary was down 2-0 when a goal by Milan Lucic sliced the deficit in half.

 

As the second period ended without a goal, Vegas increased their advantage to 3-1 before Nazem Kadri’s goal completed the scoring.

 

With a third-period deficit this season, the Flames are at 0-18-3. Elias Lindholm and Tyler Toffoli were Calgary’s top performers this year. With 29 goals and 65 total points, Toffoli leads the squad in scoring.

 

With 40 assists, Lindholm is the Flames’ top player. Despite having the second-most shots on goal, the Flames only score an average of 3.12 goals per game. 

 

  • The total went OVER in 4 of Calgary’s last 6 matches.
  • The Calgary Flames are 5-10 SU in their last 15 matches.
  • The total went OVER in 4 of Calgary’s last 5 matches against San Jose.

San Jose Sharks vs Calgary Flames. The NHL pick for this game is the San Jose Sharks. Despite not having a victory since March 6, the Sharks will cover +1.5 goals on Saturday.

 

San Jose really has a far superior away record than at home. The Sharks only have a 6-20-10 home record, but they have a 13-win away record.

 

The situation is reversed for Calgary, where the Flames only lost 11 of their 14 home games. Markstrom is anticipated to start in goal for Calgary, but the Flames dropped his previous three contests, leaving the Sharks with a chance to win.

 

While Calgary has a superior goal differential than San Jose, it shouldn’t be enough to win this game by a landslide. The Sharks will win to a predicted score of 8-3.
