In this article, we will formulate a St. Louis Blues vs San Jose Sharks prediction for this NHL game on Thursday, December 12th at the Enterprise Center in Saint Louis, Missouri. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this NHL matchup.
The St. Louis Blues are 14-13-2 this year after they defeated Vancouver in overtime by a score of 4-3 in their last game. St. Louis blew a 3-1 lead in the game, but they were able to recover and get the win in overtime. The Blues recorded 25 shots on goal, won 54.7% of the face-offs, and went 1-2 on the power play in the game. St. Louis got goals from Bolduc, Holloway, Kyrou, and Thomas, while Hofer stopped 22 out of 25 shots in the game.
Prior to that win, the Blues lost to Edmonton by a score of 4-2 but did beat Calgary and Winnipeg before that. St. Louis has scored 2.62 goals per game and they have allowed 3.10 goals against per game, while also going 16.4% on the power play and 78.9% on the penalty kill this season. Jordan Kyrou has led St. Louis with 10 goals, 14 assists, and 85 shots on goal, while Jordan Binnington is 8-10-2 with a 2.93 goals-against average and a .897 save percentage.
The San Jose Sharks are 10-16-5 this season after they lost to Carolina by a score of 3-2 in their last game. San Jose led 2-1 after the second period, but they allowed two goals in the third for the loss. The Sharks were outshot by a total of 28-23, won 55.8% of the face-offs, and went 0-3 on the power play in the game. San Jose got both goals from Kunin, while Vanecek stopped 25 out of 28 shots in the loss.
Prior to that game, the Sharks lost to Florida by a score of 3-1 and Tampa Bay by a score of 8-1. San Jose has scored 2.71 goals per game and they have allowed 3.45 goals against per game, while also going 17% on the power play and 81.6% on the penalty kill this season. Mikael Granlund has led San Jose with 10 goals, 20 assists, and 82 shots on goal, while Alexandar Georgiev is expected to start in the net.
San Jose comes into this game trying to snap their three-game losing streak, but they are just 4-10-4 on the road this year. The Sharks have been outscored 14-4 in their last three games and they are allowing 3.45 goals against per game. St. Louis has won three of their last four games and they are 5-6-1 at home. The Blues have been pretty low-scoring this year, but they have scored four goals in each of their last three wins. I can’t back the Sharks on the road, especially in their current form, so take the Blues to win by at least two goals here.
