San Jose vs New Jersey Prediction: We're In for an Uneventful Match

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between San Jose vs New Jersey, which will take place on January 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Yaroslav Askarov was the star of the show in the game against Tampa, stopping 24 out of 25 shots. This has definitely given the coach the confidence to keep him in the team. Up to this point, Ryan Warsofsky's team had not won in eight games in a row. So, the Sharks have managed to hang onto second place in the Western Conference standings. The worst Chicago breathes behind them, having two points less. In the next game, San Jose will be looking to replicate their success, especially with New Jersey having had a bit of a rough patch recently.

New Jersey's been struggling recently. If you can excuse the losses against Carolina and Los Angeles, the Devils should have got two points against Anaheim. So, they're coming into the game with San Jose after failing three times in a row. They had a big lead over Toronto, but that's all gone now. If they lose the fourth game in a row, they'll drop to third.

Bookies think the Sharks have no chance, but we don't. In the match against Tampa, Ryan Warsofsky's team played some really impressive hockey, and if Yaroslav Askarov is between the posts, it won't be easy for the New Jersey forwards. We don't expect there to be many goals in this game. San Jose will do their best to stop the game from being too exciting, just like in the match with Tampa.
