Carolina Hurricanes vs San Jose Sharks Prediction: These rivals have very different ambitions

Prediction for the NHL Carolina Hurricanes vs San Jose Sharks match which will take place on December 11. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Carolina Hurricanes

Carolina has been in crisis mode of late. While Rod Brindamore's men were in exemplary form at the start of the season, racking up win after win to be top of the Eastern Conference standings, things have gone from bad to worse. The Hurricanes are now fourth in the standings with 35 points and have only one win in their last five games, a 5:3 victory over Colorado. And Carolina lost again, this time 4:3 to the Islanders.

San Jose Sharks

San Jose has no grand plans or goals for the season, and it shows. After all, Ryan Warsofsky has minimal resources and makes the most of them. With 25 points, the Sharks are 13th in the Western Conference and can't even dream of making the playoffs. San Jose have been beaten in their last two meetings, losing 8:1 to Tampa Bay and 3:1 to Florida.

Expert Betting Tips

We think Carolina can pull off the upset in this meeting. The Hurricanes have been playing some unconvincing hockey lately and have lost too many games, but even in this state, they have to beat San Jose. No matter how you look at it, these rivals have very different ambitions. The game will be played in Raleigh, and it would be a shame for the Sharks to lose in front of their fans.
