San Jose Sharks vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction: We prefer San Jose

Prediction for the NHL San Jose Sharks vs Chicago Blackhawks match which will take place on November 1st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

San Jose has scored more points in its last two games than in their previous nine. Remember, the Sharks beat Utah 5:4 in overtime on the road and then defeated Los Angeles 4:2 in their own backyard. The Sharks have six points, one less than West leaders Chicago. A successful performance could improve the hosts' position a little.

Chicago can only settle for the penultimate spot in the West, and if they lose, they will be forced to drop to the bottom of the standings. That won't sit well with the Hawks, who will do all they can to deny the Sharks a third straight victory. As for the visitors, they have a 5:2 win over Colorado and four losses by a combined score of 9:17.

We prefer San Jose in this pairing. This is a meeting of two clear underdogs, but after two wins in a row, the Sharks believe in their strength. The Hawks away form has always left something to be desired. In their last ten away games, they have been the weaker side on eight occasions. We generally see no better bet than three goals for the first team.
