Will this be the first time for the last 10 years when San Jose will not advance to the playoffs? The Sharks still have a chance, but to achieve this goal, they have win, especially at the HP Pavilion...

Classifications and team condition
This is the worst season for San Jose. Although they still can count on the advance to the playoffs, it seems that the peak of their ability is the seventh place in the Western Conference. The situation in the Conference is not easy because 5 teams are fighting for the 7-8 places: Colorado (83), Dallas (83), San Jose (82), Los Angeles (82), Calgary (81).

Boston Bruins are in a quite different situation, as the Eastern Conference is not as strong as the Western one this season. The Bears have gathered 87 points, which gives them the 4th or the 6th place. It should be noted that the Bruins had recently fought with New York for the first place in the East.

Our free betting Tip and prediction
The fight against the Bruins is crucial for the California club. The Sharks’ shape is surprising, because this team was the main favorite to win in the West. Luckily for the coach Todd McLellan, the situation in the team before the most important matches has improved. Moreover, Boston has recently been a very suitable rival for San Jose. Over the previous 10 seasons, the Bears have won only 3 games against this team. This season the Sharks have also confirmed their superiority over the Bruins, having won the away match 4-2. If we also add a series of injuries in the visiting team and a weak shape of Boston in the away games, then our forecast in favour of San Jose will be obvious...
